Mobile Broadband Wi-Fi hub, coming soon to Three.


The Wi-Fi Hub enables a dongle’s internet connection to be shared with up to five Wi-Fi devices including tablets, games consoles and laptops. Plus, the Wi-Fi Hub also includes an Ethernet socket allowing it to be used as a router for wired connections.

The Mobile Broadband Wi-Fi Hub is compatible with almost all USB dongles*, including the recently announced Premium Dongle from Three which is HSPA+ compatible, offering up to 40% faster browsing. These figures are also set to increase even further as Three ramps up its upgrade programme and rolls out the HSPA+ 21.1Mbps standard across its high-speed 3G network.**

David Kerrigan, head of mobile broadband at Three said, “The ZTE MF10 Dongle Adapter is a fantastic addition to Three’s range of mobile broadband devices, offering people the flexibility of being able to create a Wi-Fi hotspot making their existing dongle even more useful, if they already own an mobile broadband dongle.”

Key features include:

  • Creates a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five devices
  • Supports dongle speeds up to 21 Mbps
  • 88mm x 66mm x 25mm
  • Available in black
  • Mains powered
  • 30 Meter range

Information on pricing and availability will be announced soon. In the meantime, take a peek at the coming soon page for more information.

** Three is aiming to have 80% of its network upgraded to HSPA+ by the end of this year, with the rest following soon afterwards.

We launched 4G in 2014 and plan to have 50 cities and 200 towns covered by 4G by December 2014. By the end of 2015 98% of the population will be able to access 4G through a combination of new sites and deploying new spectrum.
