SMARTY 4G Router - Simple, reliable WiFi wherever you are

Product Information

SMARTY’s traffic management policy is simpler than most, as it simply says that it doesn't enforce any data shaping or network throttling, which is to say that your speeds and bandwidth shouldn’t be intentionally slowed under any circumstances. Frequencies Network Frequencies Routers usually have at least one or, more commonly, four wired network ports for Ethernet cable connection. Cheaper options tend to have only a “Fast Ethernet” feature that allows for the transmission of no more than 100 megabits per second. The choice depends on the purpose of using a router. All plans are also just 1-month long, meaning you can change or cancel your plan almost whenever you want. The network notes that this means there essentially aren’t any annual price rises. That doesn’t mean prices will never go up, but it does mean that you’ll be free to cancel if you’re ever unhappy with price changes. SMARTY’s 3G speeds are also pretty decent. We got up to 12Mbps over 3G, which is faster than their slowest 4G speeds. But for the most part we got around 4Mbps over 3G.

That makes it more flexible than some networks, though the fact that it just offers SIM Only plans (along with some refurbished phones) makes it more limiting in some ways. Simply accessing the Internet is likely to be sufficient. However, if you plan to transfer files across different devices, you will need to invest in a router that comes with Gigabit ports. For instance, the TP-LINK AC1200 4G+ Router features fully gigabit Ethernet ports that will perfectly suit high-intensive wired devices.

SMARTY’s Data Only plans can be used on portable wi-fi hotspots (also known as MiFis). Most of these allow you to share a wi-fi signal to around 10 other devices to get them connected to the internet. You can get in touch with their chat agent using SMARTY’s app too. Or if you’re tech savvy you can use your online account and their self-help resources here to get to the bottom of your issue yourself. MiFi 4G routers, also known as mobile WiFi routers, are wireless devices. Like USB modems, they are ideal for those who need to use a router outside the house. But MiFi routers have the advantage of being able to connect to more than one device. The device works by tapping into 4G mobile phone networks and creating a wireless broadband cloud that can be shared between different gadgets, such as laptops, tablets, and gaming consoles.

VoLTErefers to calling and texting over 4G, rather than 2G or 3G. It means you can call in more places, as some places will only have a 4G signal, and it’s offered by SMARTY on a number of handsets. Data rollover

Speeds can be faster or slower than that, but rarely do you go hugely above or below that.
