Thanks everyone...I am going to look at using my phone as a hot spot, initially.

What makes a MiFi hub a better option than a phone?

There are technical details, as alluded to by QrizB but, on a practical level, my experience has been that using the phone tends to drop the WIFI data if a call comes in.  I simply think the phone is not capable to do both at the same time to an acceptable standard.  The MiFi hub does not have the ability to receive calls and text etc, nor browse the internet / WhatsApp within the device so all the resource capacity is directed at the sole function of providing the hotspot.

Thanks to everyone. Tried my phone. Managed a few zoom calls but as has been pointed out, drained my battery, which seems permanently impacted. Found an old MiFi we used when we moved many years ago and I recall watching TV and running computers on it, but it has been awful! Thank you for the link, I will now look into the recommended router

The old MiFi might not have current "G" rating?
