hi today I'm going to talk about the
tech wireless device I say I should say
the Tech portable personal Wi-Fi device
it's like a lot of words there but if
you hear I'm guessing you want to know a
little bit more about the device or
you've heard about the device or you
just want some more information about
personal Wi-Fi so basically what it is
is whenever you're traveling and you
want some Wi-Fi instead of trying to
search for Wi-Fi at a cafe or trying to
connect to the cities you know Wi-Fi
that's super slow you don't have to
worry about any of that because you have
your own portable Wi-Fi and you can just
connect to your Wi-Fi and you instantly
have your own Wi-Fi so that's sometimes
why I hope I explain that good oh well
enough but that's what I'm having a
personal portable Wi-Fi is so when you
get your device in the mail it's going
to look like this you're gonna get a box
like this I ordered Luis that's why my
cover is blue and then when you open it
you get a little pouch like this that
has your device inside and they give you
a USB Universal output which is great
that is so Universal outfit so they are
thinking about you they know that you're
traveling they're not exactly sure where
you're going but wherever you're going
they've got you covered and then you
also get the the cord for to charge it
and so this is what it looks like look
how slim it is I love that it's slim
because the last thing I want to do is
have something big and bulky in my bag
so I love how slim the devices and it's
pretty lightweight
it's almost like the size of the old
iPhone I mean it's like fits in that the
palm of my hand
anyways that's what it looks like in it
you know it comes in this nice pouch so
I did travel with this and oh I also
made sure to put this on my carry-on and
I did not check this in because did be
still purpose of having your own Wi-Fi
if you check in your bag and then your
bag gets lost or it's delayed so
definitely put this in here carry-on bag
once I got the device the first thing I
did was I charged it and then once I
charged it I made I turned it on and
powered and on to make sure was working
it was working just fine and then the
next thing I did was I downloaded their
app the app is a good thing to have
because you helped you track how much
data using daily and then I will let you
know if you're connected or not to the
device so basically after I powered it I
then packed it and then when I landed to
my destination in Amsterdam excuse me I
powered it on and then I went on my
cellphone I looked for the Wi-Fi name
and the no Wi-Fi name is on the back of
your device and then once I select that
then I put in the password and the
password is also on the back of your
device and then you just wait a few
minutes for it to connect and that's it
and then you have your own free personal
Wi-Fi event that's how simple it is to
use the device I will say it took a
little bit long I'm not labelled it took
a little while to connect at first when
I first landed but that's normal so just
give it some time
don't get so frustrated if you look at
your app it'll tell you what percentage
it's at so when I turned it on I kind of
wait a little
did they app and it said it was still
job trying to connect and it was like a
80% and then when I finally clinic did
it said you guys a hundred percent
you're connected and then I was good to
go so you might be wondering why I want
my own personal portable Wi-Fi there are
several reasons but the main reason I
like to have my own personal Wi-Fi it
was because it's actually hard to get
good Wi-Fi when you're traveling I don't
particularly like having to find a
coffee shop just to get free Wi-Fi and
it's not really free because murasa not
you have to purchase something in order
to use their Wi-Fi because they don't
really give you a pass or unless if you
are dining there or you have to purchase
something there I mean I get it like you
don't want everyone just walking in and
using your Wi-Fi so you know if I'm
traveling and say I am for example at a
museum and my next destination is
another museum but it's across town I
want to be able to go on my app I mean
sorry go on my phone go to Google Maps
and have Google Maps brought me to my
next destination which when I was the
answer down and we drug public
transportation so the tram was our main
transportation when we ran answer down
and when you put in Google Maps your
destination in Amsterdam it'd only show
you the nearest tram how long it'll take
you to the nearest tram and then you
know obviously we route you to the bus
stop or the tram stop and then from
there the maps will indicate how many
stops until your next destination and
all of this is not accessible unless
you're online I did try to download
offline maps to use offline maps while
in Amsterdam and it doesn't work if
you're trying to use public transport
you're trying to route public
transportation to a maximum not route it
it'll say you cannot use offline maps to
it says something like awful in maps is
not available to route your destination
or something like that so I obviously
was happy that I had my own Wi-Fi
because you know well while my sister
and I were in Amsterdam we had a huge
itinerary and every day we had multiple
destinations that we wanted to check out
and there's no way we would have been
able to see everything if each time we
wanted to go to a different location we
had to find someone to help us find our
destination or I have to find the cafe
to use the Wi-Fi like it's just it's a
lot of extra times that we don't want to
spend you know looking for Wi-Fi so
having our own Wi-Fi definitely is a
huge time saver another thing is that
even though cafes and airports and some
cities offer public Wi-Fi a lot of times
it doesn't work very well or it doesn't
work at all for example when we were in
Belgium Bruges the entire city had
public Wi-Fi and I try to connect to it
just to see if it would work instead of
having to use my data on my portable
Wi-Fi it wasn't working at all I mean I
figured it wouldn't work and sure enough
it didn't work which is been like why
who's actually using it I mean does the
city even check to make sure it's
working I don't know I've used
city Wi-Fi in Japan before and how to
good
and it worked a little bit but the only
thing can check was like an email I
wasn't able to pull up maps or anything
so I don't know I don't really trust
public Wi-Fi if it is available because
I'm also not in my experience
it didn't really work Airport Wi-Fi is
hit or miss some airports providing
great Wi-Fi other airports that I've
been to I it just won't connect it has
trouble connecting or if I finally
connect it's super super slow
so that's annoying and another reason
why I like having my own personal Wi-Fi
is for situations like when we were in
Amsterdam we were taking the train to
Belgium and it was a three hour train
ride and there was a layover in between
and again one of the trains did offer
free public Wi-Fi and I try to connect
to it did it work
so luckily I had my own portable Wi-Fi
and it was great to help kill time so
that was nice to have on a three hour
train ride when you use the tap to vice
just make sure that you're keeping track
of your data usage one gig it was plenty
for me throughout the day because I'm
not streaming video I'm basically I'm
using it for Google Maps checking my
emails and also uploading some Instagram
stories so that was pretty much what I
use when I travel where I'm like you
know using the Wi-Fi in an when I'm
around the city that's how I utilize or
those are the apps that I use on my
phone I think if you start streaming
video you're probably going to eat up
your data really fast and
I don't even know why you want to be
streaming so much video anyways when
you're supposed to be traveling and
enjoying the sightseeing anyway you all
have our preferences but why don't you
do reach your threshold the you won't
lose your connection but the speed will
go down drastically so just keep that in
mind that once you heat you want you to
reach the threshold which mine was one
gig and you can purchase different
amounts it'll it'll it'll slow down the
speed so just keep that in mind and I've
anything to keep in mind is that I I
noticed that if I connect the device
before I leave my hotel it was a little
bit faster I've because it does take
some time I wanted to say five minutes
you know sometimes I think I'm averaging
about five minutes to connect so I don't
want to spend that five minutes while
I'm out I'm trying to find my next
destination I'm trying to pull up Google
Maps
I don't five minutes doesn't seem long
but when you're just standing up there
it kind of seems like an eternity so my
advice is that before you head out of
your hotel before you're heading out to
your activity go ahead and turn on power
on the device and connect it so that
you're good to go once you're out the
door when you purchase the device online
there are or if you are renting a device
there are different options so it really
depends on your travel needs if you want
to purchase the device or rent the
device if you're someone like me who
travels often it's just better to go
ahead and purchase the device but if
you're someone that only travels once a
year it's probably best to just go ahead
and rent it anyways if you go through
the options you'll be able to you know
judge yourself what the best option is
