What is MiFi mobile broadband? How does a MiFi work?

A MiFi taps into 3G or 4G GSM mobile phone networks and uses this connection to create a Local area wireless broadband hotspot. Devices that support wireless connectivity can then connect via Wi-Fi. Devices that you can use with portable MiFi Routers include; smartphones, laptops, tablets and even gaming consoles and much more.

MiFi mobile broadband Internet Access Speed

MiFi Devices can support speeds provided by the broadband ISP Standards. For example, a standard 4G connection speed is 150mbs, a 4G MiFi can support these speeds.

Kenya broadband ISP Providers offer standard 3G or 4G connection speeds, depending upon network coverage.

As with any type of connection, however, users will typically experience some slowdown when the MiFi Hotspot Internet is being shared.

Where to Buy Portable MiFi Routers in Kenya

How do you set up a MiFi?

MiFi is very easy to set up. All you need to do is turn on the unit and wait for your computer to detect the signal.

This typically takes a matter of seconds. Once this is done you can get online at broadband speeds instantaneously. Unlike some dongles, there is no software to install.

MiFi vs mobile broadband dongles or USB Modems

A USB Modem will only allow you to get online with one device at a time. By contrast, MiFi units let multiple users connect to the signal simultaneously, making them handy for families. MiFis are also a great, cost-effective option for students living in shared accommodation.

MiFi also offers the advantage over dongles that they do not need to be plugged into the device that they are connecting to the internet. This means that they can be placed in the optimum position to ensure a good signal, thus allowing users to overcome some of the problems associated with using a dongle.
