Description
BT5G WiFi from BT is a mobile broadband device, meaning that it’s designed to get your gadgets online while you’re on the move. You can use it at home, but you’d be better off with a dedicated 5G home broadband device for that.
WiFi has a lot going for it, including the ability to get up to 64 devices online at once, and support for Wi-Fi 6.In fact, on paper it’s a lot better than most mobile broadband devices – both 5G and 4G ones.
Design
Like most mobile broadband devices the BT5G WiFi isn’t much to look at. It’s basically just a white rectangle with some purple BT branding on the front, a few indicator lights, and a few ports.
This is totally fine though – nobody needs a flashy router, and the BT5G WiFi certainly doesn’t look bad, it’s just very plain.
At 128 x 100 x 17.9mm and 195g it’s also fairly small and light, which is something that’s important for a mobile broadband device. After all, this is something you’re going to want to carry around with you.
Setup
The BT5G WiFi is – like all mobile broadband devices – very easy to set up. Just make sure it’s charged and has a SIM card in it, switch it on, and it’s basically ready to start broadcasting a network.
It comes with a quick start guide, but quick really is the operative word – this isn’t the sort of tech that you’ll have to spend ages configuring. That’s great, because it means it can just seamlessly fade into the background, getting your gadgets online when needed.
Performance and speeds
BT hasn’t revealed the maximum download speeds offered by the BT5G
