4G WiFi Router

WiFi Is Usually Faster than 4G LTE Mobile Data . A recent OpenSignal study [PDF] proved that mobile networks are killing Wi-Fi for speed around the world in 33 countries at least.

With a 4G-enabled tablet and a data plan, you’ll get full internet access without needing to stay within the range of a Wi-Fi hotspot. On the other hand, a Wi-Fi-only tablet means you can only connect to the internet via Wi-Fi . That’s the main difference between an LTE and a Wi-Fi tablet.

While WiFi lets you connect to the internet via your router, cellular data lets you connect to the internet via your cell phone signal . So, if you are not at home near your router to use your home network and if you are not connecting to public WiFi, it’s likely that you would use your cellular internet.

You’ve learned that Wi-Fi comes from a home internet connection, while 4G and 5G are mobile internet connections . 4G and especially 5G can be faster than a Wi-Fi network, but they are much more expensive.
