Totally portable. Coverage great, north and south Island very few remote spots with no connection as expected, download speeds really good no issues. Great price helpful knowledgeable staff who answer the phone! Had 1 connection issue ( months ago now) one 5min phone call all fixed. We use at home and on the road
Rodger Cullen
On a recent trip in the South Island, my wife & I enquired with The Wireless Nation team in Christchurch about options for setting up wifi in our caravan.
Jason Sommerville spoke to us about the many options Wireless Nation now has to offer. The one that caught our attention was the Portal WiFi option with 3 data plans available with discounts for NZMCA members like ourselves.
With the help of Jason we were able to work out our data usage from the previous 12 months with our current network provider. This gave us a clear indication on what Wireless Nation Portable WiFi plan would work best for us. It was a breeze to setup and the Wireless Nation team were easy to contact when needed. In fact less than a couple of minutes, which is rare these days.
We now use it on our frequent travels and when we are home we just take it in the house and turn it on.
It was that easy.
Thanks Wireless Nation

Shane Rea
Excellent service I can run my TV laptop and cell phone without any issue through the modem and I live permanently in a caravan AAA+++ service I highly recommend Wireless Nation
Lois Chamberlain
We have used WN for a few years now. Love the added bonus of being able to take the modem away in the motorhome. Very easy to put on hold if you're going overseas. Great service if any problem, just ring and talk to a helpful person in NZ! Beats all other providers hands down on that alone.
bruce arroll
I had an issue with getting wireless rurally where the signal from the local towers was variable. I needed a hands-on person to test which phone company I should use. Ben one of the staff worked with me to sort this out. Such a relief to have a human help me. I cannot imagine I would have sorted it via a help desk. Such an amazing service.
Evgueni Boutskikh
easy installation, works fine
Lynn Archibald
Great service. Live the portability - we take modem with us on holiday, good value for money and performance is equivalent to fibre (which we cant get in rural area we moved to). I work from home so need good speed and i get it with Wireless Nation
Ewan Duff
The customer support is second to non
To actually deal with a nz person compared to other providers is so reassuring.
The rates are better than others I've researched and because I'm in the motor cars cc sn association it was a no brainer. I refered my daughter who moved to a rural property and it worked out with better coverage and better .
Top marks to wireless nation

We have used Wireless Nation for many years now, and have always been happy. The service is great, the staff are fantastic and we'd recommend the company to anyone looking for a good reliable internet or cellphone provider.
Barbara Prescott
I've been with Wireless action for many years and have been extremely satisfied with them. At the time of joining, they were the only firm that could give me what I wanted. There have only been a couple of times I've needed assistance, and the people I were in contact with, were very friendly and helpful. A great firm to be involved with.

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.

Actual speeds may be faster or slower, depending on your distance to the nearest tower, your location, and how many people are using that same tower simultaneously. Speeds are from the Commerce Commission’s Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) Sept 2024 report.

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 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.

Hey Guys, I am going to need to look into this a little deeper, unfortunately I am going to an AI event in an hour and flying to Sydney tomorrow morning so it may be a couple days before I can properly troubleshoot this. Sorry about this inconvenience... For the meantime @Miro Sudzum can we please revert to this working version? This will be temporary but Pearl will work as expected.
