Cons:
Setting up a WiFi Hotspot may be pretty easy with almost no extra money spent, but it comes with it set of cons.
- Always keep your laptop/PC turned on - the one you have setup up as a host of the Wi-Fi Hotspot. This is in contrary to a router. In case you buy a new Wi-Fi router you can enjoy the internet in all your smart devices, by just switching on the router.
- Secondly keeping your laptop always turned on a Hotspot takes toll on its battery life.
- Range: The Hotspot created using your laptop Wi-Fi will have lesser range as covered to a Generic Router.
