The 6 best portable WiFi hotspots for work, travel and cars

Why work from home when you could work from the beach, the park or really anywhere?

If your thinking, “but where’s the WiFi?” don’t worry, we were too until we found out that you can get a portable WiFi hotspot or device for connectivity anywhere you want.

Many cellular carriers offer mobile hotspots as part of their phone packages, but those can be pricey, or limited to only their clients who have a bundled service. Plus, if you want to roam without worrying about other’s on your plan, that may not be the best solution.

We want to cut the cord and let you roam, especially during the summer when all we want to do is be able to work under the sunshine instead of florescent lights. This is why we compiled some of the best and easiest-to-use portable WiFi devices and hotspots, offering you the world wide web from wherever you are.

Read on for plans, contact-free devices and more to let you roam without fear of missing that important email from your boss or Zoom meeting in 2022.
