Xiaomi Mi Pocket WiFi USB Router Adapter Setup Guide In English
Iberio Ralda
It depends on your budget and needs (e.g. will you need a Japanese phone number for your stay?). We usually recommend both a wifi router and SIM, for maximum connectivity, but if you can only choose one, and you need lots of data for lots of devices, a pocket wifi router might better meet your travel needs.
If you happen to be planning a UK trip too, or you just want to weep at how pricey pocket wifi in Japan is compared to the UK, check out our London Cheapo Guide to the best UK mobile broadband providers.
While we do our best to ensure the information here is correct, it is subject to change. Note that exceeding data limits could, in addition to seeing speeds slow, result in a temporary suspension of service. Check all prices and T&Cs carefully with the provider before ordering your pocket wifi router. Post regularly updated. Last update: October 17, 2023, by Shyam Bhardwa.

I recently bought a TP-Link AC1200 Wifi Extender (RE305) for my home. I got it connected to the router and have all the blue lights across the top. However, on my phone I keep getting an alert on my wifi that there is no internet connection. I have no idea how to fix this, so if anyone could give me step-by-step instructions (because so much of this stuff I just don't understand), I would really appreciate it.
As with any networking issues, there are 2 places to look at first: the networking equipment (router) and the device having the issue (computer, smartphone, tablet etc.). As a first step, restart your networking equipment and device and see if that fixes the problem. As with the router, network, wifi and software problems often get fixed automatically with a simple restart. If it doesn't help you, check with the following:
This might seem obvious, but after having paired your extender with your router, you have to actively connect your devices (phones/tablet/laptops and whatnot) to the extender with the password that you created for your router/extender.
In my case the 305 extender actually seems to have a stronger signal than my router, so I just connect to the extender. Some devices will switch automatically between router and extender, but others you have to switch manually in your devices (phones/tablet/laptops and whatnot) wifi settings menu.
Wi-Fi routers (also called personal hotspots, personal Wi-Fi, pocket Wi-Fi, etc.) are small, battery-powered devices that use the cellular phone network to create a local wireless network. They are easy to set up, provide reasonably fast internet, work anywhere there is cell phone service, allow multiple devices to connect at once and are relatively inexpensive. Wi-Fi routers are available to rent on a daily basis at major Japanese airports or via the internet for delivery to your home or hotel.
Firmware updates to Zigbee EmberZNet (EZSP) adapter based on EFR32, EM358x, and ETRX35x chips from Silicon Labs can be flashed over USB/UART by putting them in bootloader (BSL) mode. If your adapters has an EM358x or ETRX35x chip it will have an older/legacy Ember Bootloader (EBL) and you will need to see your adapter manual on how to put your adapter into bootloader mode, also known as boot mode or firmware recovery mode. After you have done this one of the following tools/guides can be used to flash it. If your adapter has a EFR32xG1 or EFR32MG2x chip adapters then it will have the newer Gecko Bootloader (GBL) that has the ability to enter bootloader mode automatically (also known as Auto-BSL) without need to pressing holding physical BTL/reset button or short circuit any GPIO/soldering-pads.
Type of plan

Before you install the camera in its intended place, ensure you follow all the guidelines provided in this tutorial. After pairing the camera with your WiFi router, assess the router's WiFi signal strength at your desired installation spots before committing to that one location.
In this step-by-step video tutorial, we guide you through pairing your WiFi camera with your router's WiFi signal. Start by following steps 1 and 2 in this article: Connect the camera to the router using a wired connection, power it on, and access the web interface by typing its wired IP address (usually 192.168.1.109) into a browser. It's extremely important to ensure that your computer and the network are compatible with the camera's wired IP address scheme.
After logging in with the username and password details provided on the camera's label, head to the settings tab and choose the WiFi submenu under Network settings. The camera's WiFi setting is typically on DHCP by default, which means it will automatically obtain an IP address from your router. To connect your camera, select your preferred 2.4GHz WiFi network from the SSIDs list by double-clicking it and keying in the WiFi password. This password is the same one you use to connect devices like your phone or laptop to your home network. The video guide below streamlines the procedure of linking your camera to a WiFi network and, when required, setting up a static wireless IP.
For new routers that have yet to be connected to the internet, refer the installation guide and user manual that was supplied with the router. The manuals can also be found on the NETGEAR Support website.
WPS is a simple, secure way to connect your devices to the internet. It's also easy to set up and use, which makes it an ideal option for connecting your devices. We'll walk you through the steps of setting up WPS on your router and wireless adapter so that you can get your device connected to the internet in no time flat!
A USB Ethernet Adapter (also known as an Ethernet network adapter) is a small dongle that connects to a USB port on your device, allowing you to plug in an ethernet cable. The Ethernet cable is then plugged into your router or modem, forming a solid, hard-wired connection between your computer and your internet service.
