4g mi-fi with mains power

The MR-6400 I suggested needs no dongle. It is available from Amazon.fr (and Amazon Uk, which might work out cheaper depending on cost of delivery to France)0

We are on the ferry tonight so if we want something that we can use this trip and leave behind for our guests it will have to come from one of the French outlets.
Another challenge for my intermediate level French :-D
Thanks for all the suggestions
Search ebay for unlocked 3G/4G dongles. It's an option I've used with these TP-Link routers for temporary wifi in London very effectively0 -

I've had 3 different MiFis over the years and every one has always been run while on charge with no issues whatsoever. If they are always used that way battery life is pretty much irrelevant anyway.0

...which apparently doesn't have a battery and can be powered via a standard mains to USB adaptor plug.0
