Can Portable Internet Connectors replace a traditional home or office internet connection?  Currently － “some experts” say No, such folk go on to explain that Portable Internet Connectors are also known as “mobile hotspots”, which cannot replace a traditional home or office internet connection because they offer significantly slower speeds, limited data allowances, and are designed for occasional use on the go, not for heavy, continuous internet usage at a fixed location; while they can be a useful backup option, they are not suitable for primary internet access in most situations.

On-the-other-hand, “Mobile Cellular Routers” such as the Ryoko Portable Wi-Fi device which is often described by “other experts” who claim  Mobil Cellular Routers simply are not Portable Internet Connectors, or mobile Hotspots. Unlike  Portable Internet Connectors, Mobile Cellular Routers typically have more powerful antennas and can provide a stronger and more extensive Wi-Fi signal. Such other experts expand that bold statement by asserting that  Mobil Cellular Routers tend to work better in areas where cellular coverage may be spotty. And further are suitable for larger areas or situations where multiple devices need to connect simultaneously.

Mobil Hotspots, they say, are generally smaller and more compact and have a shorter WiFi range than Mobile Routers.

To make online “info” even more confusing, the Ryoko device has been reported to download as few as 150 Mbps and as many as 500. One web site ( https://ryokorouter.com/ryoko-pro/product?l=en&vndr=evf&evf=1&uid=5961&offid=61&affiliate_id=10&ttclid=&subid=5270&subid2=41994&subid3=7304&subid4=www.djpcraze.com&subid5=fc6bc97d45ab40e68b83ead0d0794851&network_id=69#FAQ )  reports that the Ryoko device gained access to the internet via the closest internet tower, while an Amazon Site ( https://amzn.to/4gcyfPe ) reports that said signal is acquired via satellite.

Yep, the on-line info gets worse, in that a third website strongly suggests there are several options for the “monthly Plan” you must sign up for ( https://www.reviewopedia.com/muama-ryoko-portable-wifi-reviews ) －though no suggestion of how or when it is offered and a forth site ( https://techbullion.com/my-honest-review-of-ryoko-pro-portable-wifi-router/ ) insists, and I quote, “there’s no contract”!

Prices vary from $89.00, which is described as a 70% discount, without mention of Shipping cost or applipable sales tax to as little as $25.18, including Shipping and a 6% Sales Tax when purchased from an Amazon.com Store Front.

Considering the low, low price at the afore mentioned Amazon.com Store Front, you must decide if less than a Thirty Dollar price is to high a cost to learn exactly how and if the Ryoko Portable Wi-Fi device works!

Most of us who “stream” our TV addiction via an internet source, long for the era when TV viewing signals were captured with a TV Antenna and perhaps a signal “Booster” and commercials were our only cost.

But then, according to Fortune Business Insights, the global streaming market alone was worth 455 Billion Dollars back in 2022. The expected growth rate stands at around 19.3% per year until 2030, at which time the industry would be worth 1.9 Trillion Dollars!

Perhaps such huge monetary figures have impacted the online stream of information regarding (practically) free TV, free music, free podcasting programs and free internet access!
