hotspot device
Mobile WiFi source
A hotspot device is a small portable unit that connects to cellular networks and broadcasts a local Wi-Fi signal, allowing nearby devices to access the internet.
Travelers and remote workers use them when reliable Wi-Fi isn't available: I brought my hotspot device so we'd have internet at the cabin.
Also called a mobile hotspot or MiFi.
