Recently I was at a meeting where there was no internet access available. Then someone turned up with a small router, which we could all use. It turned out to be a portable wifi router. I had never come across them before. I tested it out with my small Linux laptop and it worked just fine.

Anyone in the group know about these please? Any advice and/or comments?

Thanks,

Neil

Chances are it was a "MiFi" device - WiFi on one side of the connection and 3G/4G on the other.
