Looking For The Best Hotspot, Wi-Fi Or Hardwire Device For Laptop Gaming
Topic 31963 | Page 1
When I'm stuck using mobile data I use my S21 as a tether. I set it to 5GHz (so as to avoid the noisier 2.4GHz spectrum) and Wifi 6 standard which uses WPA3. My mobile provider is Google Fi and they offer unlimited data on the Unlimited Plus Plan. They don't limit tethering and I use it in Mexico as well. They piggyback of T-Mo's network so coverage is not going to match Verizon's though.
Once I start driving I think I'm going to get Verizon pre-paid on an old Pixel phone to compare who has best data coverage and then decide. Verizon's prices have historically been far worse though.
As far as data usage it's not insane for the games I play online. Mostly MMORPGs but I also never let the games update if the update is over 500MB or so. Even then I try to time that to when I'm on Wifi.

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
What laptop are you gaming on? Have you already got a setup? What games are you playing?
LOL And WHO has time for gaming? "Maybe" on a 34 reset, otherwise, I don't see much time for it. Hell, I took my laptop with me OTR , and maybe, got it out once a week or longer. Too much time to concentrate on doing the job well, and safely. Used my Metro PCS hot spot for laptop use, and there was states I couldn't even get hotspot, Wyoming practically the whole state, western half of Nebraska etc, etc lol

Yea, I'll probably still carry my laptop just in case I need to fill out lengthy paperwork concerning my wife's immigration or something and don't wanna wait or type a lot on my phone.
One reason I'm leaning towards flatbed is I don't even know how much time I'll have to get any exercise in.

Pda.net. uses your unlimited data you already paid for. Recommend you go with Verizon for a carrier. Get a tier one level phone that's 5g. Reason being is that the luxury phones, high end ones get priority on data. Verizon has the best coverage and fastest data speed.
I play division 2, ghost recon, rainbow 6 extraction, red dead redemption online, while streaming. you name it. Have had it for years. Carrier can't detect the tether. Use a proxy with it.
I routinely get 100 megs a sec with it.
Have an HP omen with AMD ryzen7 5700. Discrete GTX 1660 TI gpu. Works well
