What Our Customers Think
Use it at home, your bach, your worksite, on your boat, your vehicle – and more!
Our Portable WiFi is designed for those who need flexibility in how they work or live. Tethering is not an ideal solution when you are working remotely, on a work site, headed to the bach, or out on the water and need a bit more muscle and convenience in your connection.
We use over 1,750 towers which cover 99% of the population or, in other words, most places where people live, work and commonly travel.
Equipment
Powerful 4G Modem (required)
There’s an investment of $329 for a powerful 4G Modem. This provides home-grade internet on the road and reaches further than mobile phone reception.
12-24v Adapter (optional)
You can purchase a 12-24V adapter for $69.90 during signup, meaning the modem can run off 12-24V and keep the modem safe from voltage spikes. Please note: the modem includes a 230/240V wall plug for mains power.
Shipping and Handling: $16.95.
Year-round Service or Flexible Holds
Stay connected when you need it, pause when you don’t.
- Use at home or on the go: Portable is versatile—perfect for home use, the bach, motorhome, caravan, worksite and yes, even your boat!
- Easy plan holds: Simply give us a five-day notice before pausing your plan. Each activation lasts for at least one month.
- Quick reactivation: Need to reconnect? Reactivation just takes 3-5 working days.
- How to request: Pause or reactivate your connection easily by emailing accounts@wirelessnation.net.

Full Speed Data means we do not throttle at Wireless Nation. The average peak hour speed is 31 or 38Mbps download, and 14 or 23Mbps upload, depending on where you are. Actual speeds may be faster or slower, depending on your distance to the nearest tower and how many people are using that same tower simultaneously. Speeds are from the Commerce Commission’s Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) June 2024 report.
12-24v Adapter (optional): You can purchase a 12-24V adapter for $69.90 during sign-up, meaning the modem can run off 12-24V and keep the modem safe from voltage spikes. Please note, the modem includes a 230/240V wall plug for mains power.
