Read More »Our favorite portable Wi-Fi hotspot is the GlocalMe G4 Pro 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot because it's not tethered to any specific cellular provider, and it's very easy to add data to your plan. But if you're working on the go, traveling in a group , or attempting to preserve your phone's battery, you might want to look into getting a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, which often provides more data to more devices. "Portable hotspots will use data just like cell phones do, and coverage will really depend on the carrier and the coverage they offer in the area," Best Buy mobile supervisor Thomas Walker told Travel + Leisure. "Since hotspots require data, they also require a plan, something to remember as you consider buying a portable hotspot." We're fortunate to live in an era where cell coverage reaches 95 percent of the population, according to the International Telecommunications Union . And that makes staying connected while traveling to most on-the-grid destinations a breeze. Many cell phone carriers offer some level of international data plans, which allows you to use your devices abroad — for a fee, of course. Best Overall GlocalMe G4 Pro 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Amazon View On Amazon View On Glocalme.com View On Newegg.com Why We Love It: It's an unlocked hotspot that can be used in 140-plus countries. What to Consider: It doesn't support 5G. What we like about the GlocalMe G4 Pro 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot is its flexibility and streamlined design — it's the ticket for travelers who are hopping across continents. The company has its own Cloud SIM technology, allowing you to connect to the internet in 144 countries around the world using its proprietary data packages, which are pay-as-you-go and require no contract. The hotspot also comes with one free gigabyte of international data, which can be used over the course of a 90-day period. Also nice: you can also replace the SIM card with a local provider if the standard connection isn't fast enough for your needs, or if you run out of data in your prepaid plan and want to replace it with data provided by a local carrier. You can also connect up to 10 devices — and it'll stay powered for up to 12 hours before you need to recharge. Price at time of publish: $169 Battery life: 12 hours | Average download speed: Not listed | Connected devices: 10 Best Budget Alcatel LinkZone 4G Mobile WiFi Hotspot Amazon View On Amazon Why We Love It: You can connect up to 15 devices. What to Consider: It has a short battery life. Priced just above $50, the Alcatel LinkZone 4G Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot is one of the more budget-friendly hotspots available. This SIM card-operated pick is best matched with AT&T, T-Mobile, and other GSM carriers that use SIM cards for service (the specific device shown here is locked to T-Mobile, specifically, while unlocked versions are more expensive). But one of your tradeoffs for price is that it only offers up to six hours battery life when fully charged. That said, it does have a max download speed of 150 megabits per second (Mbps) for quick and continuous streaming, and it can be used for up to 15 devices at once. Price at time of publish: $35 Battery life: 10 hours | Average download speed: 150 Mbps | Connected devices: 15 Best for AT&T Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 Mobile Hotspot 4G LTE Router Amazon View On Amazon View On Walmart View On B&H Photo Video Why We Love It: This is a super high-speed device. What to Consider: Netgear doesn't publish battery life. Able to connect and share data with 20 devices at once, the Netgear Nighthawk M1 Mobile Hotspot can handle multiple tasks at once without sacrificing power or speed. It's an unlocked device that uses GSM SIM cards, but we recommend using it with AT&T. It's equipped with fast 4G LTE broadband and offers up to one gigabit per second (Gbps) of download speed. Worried about how much data you've used? Its LCD screen clearly displays how much storage is remaining, calculates when it will run out, and keeps count of the devices connected. While Netgear doesn't publish the battery life of the Nighthawk M1, it claims it can last "all day" — and you can even buy a battery booster pack for more juice. There is an upgraded version of this hotspot that is 5G-compatible, but it's nearly double the price, which we didn't think was a necessary investment to merit our top pick for AT&T.

Read More »Best for T-Mobile Inseego 5G MiFi M2000 Inseego View On Amazon View On Inseego.com Why We Love It: It's 5G-compatible and protects your devices with a VPN. What to Consider: It's a little on the heavier side. For travelers who want to connect many devices to a hotspot (and are willing to sign a contract with T-Mobile or add a phone line to your existing plan) the Inseego 5G MiFi M2000 is the pick for you. This is a powerful device, not only in terms of capacity — it can support up to 30 devices at once — but also in terms of speed. It's 5G-compatible, without an extraordinarily high price tag. Inseego doesn't publish specific stats for battery life or average download speed, as they vary with usage and connection, but you can expect "all day" charge and substantially fast download speeds when connected to 5G. Price at time of publish: $159 Battery life: up to 24 hours | Average download speed: 2.7 Gbps | Connected devices: 30 Best for Verizon Verizon Jetpack MiFi 8800L Best Buy View On Best Buy View On Verizon Why We Love It: It's got a 24-hour battery life. What to Consider: It's not 5G-compatible. The compact and lightweight Verizon Jetpack MiFi 8800L is one of the top-rated mobile hotspots on the market today, highly regarded for its ease of use and reliability. You can connect up to 15 devices with a single signal, though doing so will certainly shorten its 24 hours of battery life (yes, this hotspot is particularly good for people on the go, such as campers and RVers!). It also has impressive security measures, including an automatically connecting VPN and a guest network if you'd like to share your hotspot. Though there are 5G-compatible hotspots for Verizon users, they're not yet as reliable as this device, which is why it's on this list. Price at time of publish: $200 Battery life: 24 hours | Average download speed: Not listed | Connected devices: 15 Best for International Use Skyroam Solis Lite Amazon View On Amazon View On B&H Photo Video Why We Love It: It's pocket-sized and extra-secure with an optional VPN. What to Consider: It can only connect 10 devices at a time. As an unlocked portable Wi-Fi hotspot, the Skyroam Solis Lite can connect to local cell networks in 135-plus countries, choosing the strongest network for your location. As for purchasing that data, there's no need to get a local SIM — you can do so from an app, choosing from pay-as-you-go data, daily passes, or monthly unlimited data subscriptions. You can also choose plans for specific geographies: the USA, Europe, Asia, or global. We love how small and lightweight this specific model is, though it can only support up to 10 devices at a time. But it does have a 16-hour battery life, which is pretty solid for such a small hotspot.

Read More »Most Durable Netgear Explore AC815S Amazon View On Amazon Why We Love It: It's splash-proof. What to Consider: It's not waterproof. (There's a difference!) While many smartphones are waterproof these days, portable Wi-Fi hotspots typically aren't. So if you're traveling somewhere where there's a chance your device might get wet — say, on a camping trip — well, you're pretty much out of luck. But that's where the Netgear Unite Explore comes in. This hotspot is designed for more rugged conditions, so it's coated in rubber to protect against bumps and it's splash-proof. (Note: that does not mean waterproof, so don't submerge this hotspot!) Another boon for campers or RVers: the battery life on this hotspot, which can support up to 15 devices, is an impressive 22 hours.
