TravlFi’s JourneyGo 4G Hotspot delivers a reliable wireless network for travelers away from Wi-Fi.

The TravelFi JourneyGo 4G Hotspot normally retails for $199.
Roughly the size of a hockey puck, this is an easy-to-use device that provides stable Wi-Fi connections away from home.
It does, however, struggle in high traffic areas.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been testing an interesting little gadget called the JourneyGo 4G Hotspot. It’s about the size of a hockey puck (and even looks like one), with a simple purpose: to provide a strong, reliable Wi-Fi hotspot connection for personal devices when away from home. You won’t have to gamble on spotty local networks or pay those outrageous roaming fees while traveling.
Yes, smartphones can do the same thing via hotspot tethering, but this is better than a smartphone. It is a pocket-sized device that ensures you’re always connected to the wider internet, be it for work, school, or streaming. That is, at least for the most part. There are a few scenarios where the JourneyGo falters.

The JourneyGo 4G provides a strong wireless connection on the go. Setting up the JourneyGo
Setting up the JourneyGo Hotspot is straightforward. Once you turn it on, scan the QR code at the bottom to activate the device. Then, you have to purchase a service plan with TravelFi so you can use the JourneyGo as intended. I’ll list out the subscription details later because they relate to the device’s overall cost.
The JourneyGo supports up to 10 simultaneous connections from smartphones, laptops, desktop PCs, and even handheld gaming consoles like the Lenovo Legion Go S. It operates by scanning and connecting to cellphone towers, automatically choosing the strongest signal.Performance
Before I discuss what’s good about JourneyGo, I want to quickly review the challenges I faced because I believe they’ll be quite common. The biggest challenge was outside interference. I live near a busy intersection, which means dozens of smartphones, laptops, and other devices compete for access to the same local wireless network.
