We have a wide range of thing to
connect to the Internet today. More and more devices are used to surf the
web. We are talking not only about computers and mobiles, but also about
smart watches, televisions and a wide variety of what is known as Internet of
Things devices. The problem is that not in all circumstances we will have
access to a connection. Today we are going to explain what we can do to connect
if we are traveling .
The importance of being connected today
Many users need to
be connected to the Internet almost constantly . It
is a means of being in contact with other users, friends or family. It
also allows us to work remotely from other places, study, inform ourselves ...
The range of possibilities is very wide.
All this makes it
important today to be connected to the network. The point is, it can be
tricky at times. We do not always have access to a network that we can
enter and the coverage is not always adequate. It may even happen that we
can connect with one device but not with others, which is what interests us.
For all this we are
going to explain what we can do to have Internet when traveling . This
can also be applied to situations in which we cannot have Internet on the
mobile, for example. It is common when it comes to being in a foreign
country where our data rate is not valid.
How to have Internet when traveling
Wi-Fi networks
The first option,
something that many of us turn to when we are away, is simply to access
Wi-Fi networks . In this way we can connect our
devices and have Internet. Of course, you have to take into account
certain aspects to avoid security problems.
The first thing is
to choose the network we access very well. We must avoid open networks,
those with names such as "free Wi-Fi" or "free Internet". Also
those that use obsolete encryption such as WEP.
In case of
choosing to connect to wireless networks, we must take extreme
precautions when browsing. We should not access pages that are not
encrypted, much less enter important personal data or fill in payment forms. An
interesting tip is to use a VPN service to encrypt the connection.
This is, in short,
the first option that we can use when we travel. We can connect our mobile
devices, computers and any device that requires connection to the network.
Share the Internet from your mobile
On many occasions
when we travel we do not have more Internet than our mobile . Let's
take as an example that we go by bus or train, where normally there is no
connection. We need to advance work or search for information with the
laptop and we still have many hours of travel ahead of us.
One solution is to share
the Internet from your mobile . We are connect
several devices at the same time, so it is not only limited to computers, but
we can also connect a tablet or update the smartwatch.
This is something
we can do on both Android and iOS mobiles. It is a simple, safe and very
interesting method at certain times. Of route, we must bear in mind that we
need to have mobile coverage and a rate that allows us to have flexibility and
does not run out.
4G router
Without a doubt a
very interesting option to travel. A 4G router allows
us to have Internet anywhere as if we were connected to the home router. In
addition, most have an integrated battery that usually allows 8-10 hours of
autonomy.
It is a good idea
if we are going to take a trip and we want to have Internet to work with the
laptop, connect from the mobile and other devices. This type of device
usually supports up to 10 devices or more, so it can be a good option to share
with several people.
Buy a local SIM
This is more
geared towards foreign travel. When we go to a country that is not ours,
what we can do is buy a local SIM card . In this way we will
have Internet on the mobile, something that always comes in handy when we go on
a trip, but we can also share a connection with other devices, as we mentioned
earlier.
In short, these
are some of the main options we can have to connect to the Internet when we go
on a trip. As we have seen, they are basic options and that also allow us
to navigate from various devices. Each of these options can be interesting
in certain circumstances and according to the needs of the users.
