      don’t like to punish the phone battery if i can avoid, also allows you to let others tetherof a model without you tying up your phone eg family when on holidays.

    Better connection personally, depends on the particular wifi device though.

    Mobile hotspots are quite crappy ping usually

    I have at least 2 and sometime 4 devices heavily using data from this device. Last thing I want to do is take a phone call when 4 devices are pumping data and put it up against my head. Also if I need to take my phone (to lunch etc) the other devices won't lose their data connection as I can leave this on my desk. Other big plus is attaching external antennas for better data reception. Not to mention it won't drain my phones battery and the fact that I can use my phone as a backup if I am on the road all day and this device runs out of juice.

    How do they compare?

    •

      Looks like old version, but found below differences in bands:
      Band 20 (800) and 41 (2500) are on the newer 5570.. other than that shows same max download speed and has same bands.
      For that price I'd suggest the 5570.
      I wonder though how it compares against the expensive AC800S ($240!)???

  The catalogue doesn't mention anything about any included data - can anyone confirm if it comes with any?
