How does a WIFI router work?
A wireless router connects directly to a modem by a cable. This allows it to receive information from — and transmit information to — the internet. The router then creates and communicates with your home Wi-Fi network using built-in antennas. This provides all the devices on your home network with internet access.
Does Pocket WiFi need a SIM card?
More specifically, the Pocket WiFi operates using a Subscriber Identity Module or as it’s more commonly referred to, a SIM card. SIM cards connect to a mobile or cellular network in the exact same way as smartphones do.
