What to check before you buy
Check network coverage at your address before buying a SIM-locked MiFi or 5G router.
Compare monthly data costs, not just device price; Starlink's monthly fee dwarfs MiFi data plans.
Prefer an unlocked router if you may switch networks later.
Ask whether the device comes with bonus data or a free first month.
