Gadget Review: Portawifi Device



Hello All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Gadget review and today we would like to introduce to you the brand new Portawifi device. What is Portawifi? Porta + Wifi = Portable Wifi is something to do with Wifi on the go. Whether you're on your car, home or everywhere, you can get connected with internet. How it works? Here we explain to you.


 Portawifi device is a device that I am currently using now where I can get WIFI access at home, outside or at the car itself. The size of the modem is similar like the USB Modem but then it's slightly heavier and then bulkier. The additional advantage of this modem is actually it also acts as WIFI and can support up to 5 devices on the go at one time. You can now plug the USB modem into your laptop for your personal usage and in the same time it can share the connection as well. If you're in the car, just plug the USB modem into the cigarette socket and then it powers on by itself and get connected within seconds. Last but not least, if you are at home, you can also WIFI your home by plugging into the power socket and it works like a charm. Please be informed that this PortaWIFI modem only can detect within a 10 meter range only. If you're above10 meters from the product, then you will experience lost connection.


Besides that, you can also plug the USB Modem into a power bank and bring wherever you go and in the same time you can go online anywhere and anytime too. Look how technology changes things and this USB modem is not heavy though and can be brought anywhere for convenience as well. You can sign up with Celcom or Maxis as both of these providers provide the Portawifi Modem (connection up to 21Mbps) with contracts. Alternatively, you can log on to Lelong Website (http://www.lelong.com.my) to look up for some unlocked portawifi device where you buy the device separately and then good thing is that you can use whatever service provider you want. The price is between RM150 - RM170. I think the price is acceptable based on the technology it provides and most importantly it can connect anywhere too with just a tiny device. In my case, I've bought the unlocked portawifi from Lelong and assigned U Mobile into it and it works like a charm too. This applies if you do not want to tie to any contract and free to change provider anytime you want. 


So what are you waiting for? It's a great device to share connection with your friends and love ones and everyone get to enjoy free WIFI thanks to you who share with them. I am a happy user here and would recommend you to try it out! Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5
