Portable WiFi,
Your Signal, Your Freedom.
Use it at home, your bach, your worksite, on your boat, your vehicle — and more!

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 beach, or out on the water and need a bit more muscle and convenience in your connection.
How does it work? It’s so simple! Our Portable WiFi uses over a thousand cell towers to provide broadband and will work if you are in coverage across New Zealand.
Total flexibility
While many customers use the connection year-round in their home as their main internet connection, you can put your Portable WiFi connection on hold. This means you only pay for the months you require. Not using it? We just need five working days’ notice when you wish to put it on hold (this is only available after a one-month minimum activation).

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.

Disclaimer
Factors such as the performance of your modem, the distance you are from a cell tower, the network capability, the overall use of that cell tower by other customers, the performance and age of the devices you are using, and your in-home WiFi setup, can impact the speeds experienced.
This is a best efforts residential service and is not to be used for business or re-sale.
It can take up to 3 hours for your data to renew from midnight on the 1st of every month — this is due to the large number of connections that need to get processed through the system.
