TP-Link M7000 4G MiFi, Portable Travel WiFi, Low Cost Unlocked LTE Cat4 Mobile Hotspot Dongle, Caravan WiFi with SIM Card Slot, High Global Compatibility, Easy App Management

This TP-Link 4G LTE MiFi has been a solid bit of kit for me, going from a stand-in for home broadband to a faithful companion on cabin getaways. It's handled everything from demanding marketing and IT work with four devices connected to just streaming music for a couple of phones, and it's kept pace admirably.Speed and battery life are key here, and whilst it's 4G, it delivers a perfectly decent connection for my day-to-day tasks. Battery-wise, I'm looking at around seven hours, which is pretty good for a full day out, and the fact I can use it while it's charging is a definite bonus. Setting it up with a Smarty SIM was a doddle, and it holds its own for signal strength right alongside my mobile phone. There haven't been any faffy issues, and it's proved to be good value. While I'm eyeing up a future 5G upgrade for that extra bit of oomph, this 4G MiFi has been a reliable workhorse and a fuss-free way for me to stay connected, whether I'm working from home or chilling off-grid. It's a sound choice if you need portable internet without any unnecessary complications.

This 4G mifi device is ideal for travelling, especially as a couple or family with several devices, and you want to avoid horrendous roaming data rates. It's very pocketable and portable and of sturdy construction.It takes a full sized SIM card (adaptors are included). Just get a local SIM card for the country you're travelling to (or one with good rates there), make sure it's activated (if the mobile network activation requires making a phone call, you will need to do this with another phone first as this device can't make voice calls), connect to the WiFi access point with the details on the sticker and you're ready to go.The TPMiFi app is pretty good - which you can use when you're connected to the device. It's pretty modern design and easy enough to use (though some of the features might a bit hidden ). You can throttle individual devices which might be handy to ensure little Jonny doesn't use all of your data by watching hundreds of slightly different 4K baby shark remixes. You can change the WiFi signal strength to eek a bit more out of the battery. You can also view SMSs received too.The battery was the only part which was a little disappointing. It's removable (big plus as it makes it very repairable in theory), but in areas with less 4G signal (e.g. rural areas) it can drain quite quickly especially when using lots of data. However, it can operate whilst being charged - so you can pair it with a USB power bank (like an Anker PowerCore) to stay connected longer.Overall, thoroughly worth the modest investment if you use it even just for a couple of trips abroad.

A neat little device that does the job intended. Battery life is good and can also be used when plugged in.Performance wise, the range seems solid and is only mildly affected by walls. This is only 4G not 5G but that's reflected in the price.It does feel a little plasticy and doesn't scream premium but again I feel that is reflected in the price point.

Tp-link M700I wish people were clear and honest in their reviews. Prior to purchase I read Amazon’s and maybe 10 other peoples. If I’d read further down the list I’d have read one which highlighted the rubbish.Firstly, the instructions are poor to say the least. Inserting a SIM card is the most frustrating and awkward experience. The sim holder is so flimsy that tp-link provide a little piece of sticky tape to hold it in place, which I suppose is ok unless you intend to remove the card numerous times. The lights on the device indicating whether you have a WiFi connection or not don’t remain on so, if you’re unsure you have to keep pressing the button. Lastly, and most importantly, there are only a small number of network SIM cards that will work, Sky mobile doesn’t! Don’t even think of downloading tp-links config settings page unless you have a Masters in computer science………..It’s getting returned.

I bought this as I was travelling around England and wanted mobile WiFi. It worked perfectly in the car for all devices … mobile phones, switch lap tops and the battery lasted for 10 hours before running out, I charged it over night.My laptop was a lot slower than usual but worked and I was able to get work done. Easy to connect and get started without having to was instructions. I was then able to use in the apartment, again using all devices including the fire stick. All pretty straight forward. It was worth the money! Size was also perfect as it was small and fit anywhere. I would recommend as you can purchase a separate mobile chip for pay as you go or monthly.

This item keeps turning off after some hours... Which is not good for my spy camera which needs it to stay on all the time.. I have to keep turning it back on every morning after the WiFi has turned off, even though I spoke to the company and turned a setting on where it stays on constantly... But it hasn't worked.
