4g mi-fi with mains power

dauphin

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)

TP-Link looked ideal but the one we discussed in Curry's needs a dongle to take the SIM card. I can't find a dongle anywhere on the Orange FR website. A couple of years ago they had the Cl! 3G option but I can't find that or its equivalent now.
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 effectively

Some of the cheap end MiFi's don't like being used a lot while charging.

I have a Huawei E5331 Mifi, which cost just £40, and has been used while plugged in, almost daily, for over 12 months.

Still working perfectly.

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.

And, you can always get a new battery.

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