General & Usage

What is a mobile Wi-Fi router?

A mobile hotspot is a device that mimics your home Wi-Fi router and can connect to the internet through 4G/LTE mobile connections. It runs on battery instead of a power line and is connected to the internet over cellular networks instead of land-cables. Our devices utilize the European mobile networks.

How long does the battery last?

This depends heavily on usage, but according to the manufacturer the battery should survive up to 10 hours of internet use and 400 hours in standby-mode.

How many devices can connect simultaneously?

This depends heavily on the usage but for those wanting to use a lot of Internet, we recommend 1 to 2 users per device. But if needed you can connect up to 10 devices.

How do I recharge the device?

Please use the included cable and adapter to recharge your device.

Do I need to purchase a SIM separately?

No, you will not need to purchase a SIM.

Can I extend my rental?

Yes, please contact us.

Can I shorten my rental?

Yes, but we do not provide refunds or reimbursement for any lost usage opportunities.

Can it be used outside of The Netherlands?
