The Best Wi-Fi Hotspot

You probably don’t need a dedicated Wi-Fi hotspot. Your phone is likely a capable hotspot, if you pay for the data, and dedicated hotspots haven’t changed that much in the past few years, so buying a standalone device doesn’t make much sense for most people.

But if you use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot so often that you have to recharge it midday and monitor your data consumption to avoid busting your plan’s cap on hotspot usage, you might want to consider a dedicated hotspot.

We found that Verizon’s Inseego MiFi X Pro 5G UW offers decent battery life, a strong network, and generous hotspot data plans that far exceed the hotspot quotas available on smartphone plans.
