I won't leave home without this portable WiFi router after it got me out of a sticky situation - and it's now on sale for Prime Day

The Acer Enduro Connect is an excellent portable WiFi router and you should get regardless - especially if you travel around a lot.

This Amazon Prime Day, it can be yours for just £224 - a fantastic saving, as I used to find it annoying travelling long distances on trains only to have blackout spots - instead of carrying multiple SIMs, you can use the vSIM technology to use the best signal from any network anywhere.

Why do I think this is such a good deal? Let me tell you a story...recently, on the way home from a trip, my bike got a puncture and my old phone with my only SIM had ran out of battery - I hadn't quite finish switching from my old iPhone to my new iPhone 16 and so I was still carrying around both.

Was my power bank charged? No. But then I remembered I was testing the Acer Enduro Connect. This enabled me to not only connect to WiFi on my sim-less phone but also charge my other one.

So, while one phone was charging, I connected the other to WiFi to request a call out from the AA via the website.

This portable WiFi router doesn't need a SIM card. Instead, it uses vSIM technology and SignalScan to find the strongest 4G and 5G signal from any network.

You can connect multiple devices at a time through WiFi 6 2x2 MIMO technology ensuring smooth and stable connectivity for anyone on the network.

The device has a rugged design - although I did drop my bag and crack the screen on the test it didn't affect the useability of the device at all - 'twas but a scratch.
