We have a Nighthawk M6 that we got on an mobile broadband plan while travelling around our home country (Australia). We’ve just cancelled that plan, as we are about to head off indefinitely overseas, but have to pay out the device still.

Wondering whether it’s worth keeping and bringing with us to put local data sims in?

Or sell it (recoup cost) and use something else? Like a cheaper travel router.

Or nothing else & just use our phones and whatever wifi we get where stay?

We are two adults and two kids with a decent amount of devices between us, so just hotspotting to a phone is not really a good solution long term. But also we are likely to frequently stay in accommodation with wifi too.

And though our work needs internet, it’s our own business, we can be flexible about when we use wifi, and rarely if ever have to do video calls at set times or anything.

I find it hard to get my head around the options, so any tips in super simple terms very much appreciated.

Thank you!

    lol. It kind of does. Alas it’s just a bloody expensive wifi hotspot.
