Thanks for the info again. There are still plenty of these routers being advertised. I take your point about smart phones. However, I don't use one. I do have a mobile phone, but not a smart one. I do realise that I am a bit unusual here.Thanks for the info. I have looked into it a bit more, and I now think I understand how they work. For me it would be unnecessarily expensive, with no real benefit.They had a very short lived niche. Then smart phones started including functionality to act as a portable hotspot which does everything these do and you're already carrying it.There may still be some very specific use cases where they are desirable without a smart phone attached, but for most folk, not so much. Certainly my phone works just fine to hotspot for my laptop when I'm away from home.S
