Unite Traveler was founded in 2014. We provide 3G and 4G portable WI-FI routers and network services, allowing travelers to share travel experiences on the Internet overseas anytime, anywhere. In addition, our professional team performs stringent quality control over the devices for you. Having served over 500,000 customers, we draw on this experience to provide not only top-quality network services but also convenience and peace of mind to our customers.

What is a WI-FI router?

All mobile devices which able to surf on the Internet, such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablet computers, are compatible with the WI-FI router, offering users convenient Internet any time. The router provides users with better Internet access beyond their hotel or airport as long as it is within the service coverage of telecom companies in the target country.

What is the difference between a WI-FI router and a prepaid SIM card?

Prepaid SIM cards only provide connectivity to a single mobile device, and sharing the connection with other devices via a personal hotspot could result in faster depletion of battery, disconnection, and reduced speed…etc. Users also lose previous contacts and other essential information…etc. when changing a SIM card.

By comparison, WI-FI routers provide access to multiple mobile devices simultaneously. The cost of renting a router can be shared among a group of

friends while travelling together, making it a more affordable option for Internet connectivity.

How to use a WI-FI router?

Power on the router by holding the power button for 5 seconds

Locate the SSID and KEY on the back of the router

Go to the WI-FI menu on your mobile device, search for the device number, and connect to the network by entering the KEY

Successfully connect to the Internet

Remarks:

(1) A maximum of 5 devices can be connected simultaneously

(2) While using the WI-FI router, please recharge the device when only one bar of the battery remains. Please do not deplete the battery completely to avoid damaging the battery

Things to remember when using the WI-FI router

To prevent your mobile phone from entering roaming, we recommend switching your mobile phones to flight mode before connecting to the router. If you need to receive work calls overseas, we recommend that you deactivate your mobile data and data roaming services.

To prevent excessive data use, please turn off iCloud backup or photo stream on iOS systems. Also, please suspend the auto-update function for APPs. For Android systems, please disable the Auto-Update APPs over WI-FI only option on Google Play Store.

If the WI-FI router malfunctions on your trip, please call our customer service hotline for assistance.

The customer service center is NOT a toll-free number. You may provide your local contact number to the customer service representative, and he/she will return your call.

When the rental period has lapsed, it is difficult for us to determine the specifics of the malfunction. Regrettably, we may not be able to negotiate refunds in such instances.

Please do not operate the RESET function without instructions from a customer service representative. Improper operations may cause the device to become unusable.

Most of the devices have an automatic sleep function, which disconnects the device from your mobile device after a period without using WI-FI and reconnects with your mobile devices 5 seconds after the mobile device is in use.

Using an immense amount of data in a short period of time may violate the Fair Usage Policy (FUP). In this instance, the service provider may limit transmission speed or suspend the SIM card or device.

Fair Usage Policy

The surge in the use of smartphones worldwide has drastically limited wireless data capacity.

Although data usage is within the scope of our rental agreement, service providers may lock up the communication function of the device use when it detects immense data transmission in a short period of time without warning. The FUP is a consensus among telecommunication providers around the world. Unfortunately, it’s an inevitable issue. Therefore, please be careful when streaming video for a long period of time.

Why is streaming video or the speed still limited on an unlimited plan?

To maintain network connection quality and Fair Usage Policy, telecommunication providers worldwide sometimes limit the speeds of customers who use a large amount of data within a short period of time, making the customers unable to surf the Internet or slower speeds. Therefore, we recommend our customers to refrain from streaming video, watching online TV, video-chatting, and playing online games…etc., as well as deactivating the auto-update functions of 3C products or the data transfer functions of cloud drives.
