Gadgets for the road and beyond — reviewed for real-world performance and value, starting with portable Wi-Fi hotspots, with more subcategories added as we grow.
Connectivity gadgets for the road are only as good as the network behind them, which is usually the one thing the marketing page glosses over. For portable Wi-Fi hotspots, we check which carrier(s) the device actually runs on, whether the advertised data plan is truly unlimited or throttled after a cap, and how battery life holds up powering multiple devices at once rather than the single-phone benchmark most listings quote.
