WiFi > WiFi As WAN

Do you want to connect to the internet from an external WiFi network, but are frustrated by low output ranges and security concerns? WiFi as WAN turns these small, humdrum networks and hotspots into full-fledged private wireless networks. A WiFi as WAN router can receive a public WiFi or hotspot internet connection as a source, then turn around and create its own secure network from this source. In doing so, they form a wide area network (WAN) with a wider range and higher user limit than the original.

WiFi as WAN routers and bridges offer several advantages for traveling internet users. They allow a large number of people to connect to a single hotspot — even if the source has restrictions on total users. A wireless WAN router can also be used to create a backup internet connection from a nearby WiFi network if your primary connection goes down. In both instances, the router adds a layer of privacy to these small networks, which are typically unsecured “connect at your own risk” sources.
