I currently have VM Broadband and I am happy with it.
However, the flat that I am moving to hasn't got broadband and I would be getting it set up nearer the time that I move in.
Meantime I will take my spare laptop to the flat and it has been suggested that I buy a dongle.
Does that little thing actually do the same as my VM router?
Can anyone suggest a dongle that I could buy? Do I have to get a contract or can I get PAYG?
A broadband 4G dongle will connect you to the internet in the same way a smartphone connects. Can you tether your laptop to your phone? No cable requured
If you have an android smartphone (not iPhone) open settings, wifi & internet.
If you can see Hotspot and tethering click on it and click WiFi hotspot to turn it on.
Now your laptop will be able to find and connect. It really is easy once you know how
Am I missing something?
How can you connect to your phone’s wifi if there is no local broadband?
For 4g you need a data allowance and unless you have an unlimited data allowance it soon gets swallowed
