Tech Alert: No. 831

Technophobes, look away now!

This is a handy piece of kit – it’s the tongue-twisty Huawei Mobile WiFi E5776. The device gives you your own wireless network wherever you are using the 3G/4G network – so no more rip-off fees from hotels to use the internet!!!

It’s about the size of a cigarette packet (remember those) and can run on its own battery for total portability, or from the mains. If that’s not enough, it’ll also plug into a PC and provide a wired broadband connection, getting its signal from the mobile telephone network.

If you are looking to easily make a few more friends, it’ll let you also connect up to 10 additional devices wirelessly – in effect, you become your own wi-fi hotspot.

We got ours from those nice people at EE – why?, because they included a free 7 inch tablet, and out of all the mobile phone providers, they’re promising the quickest expansion of 4G (including a double speed 4G connection that’ll be faster than fibre optic) – and for those round these parts that have suffered with crappy sub-1Mb/sec internet speeds for what seems like forever, this may be the way forward.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!

I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
