The iNomad is a pocket-sized mini router that converts 5G signals into WiFi 6 signals, giving you speeds of up to 4Gb/s literally anywhere in the world with 5G support. It’s designed to travel, so you can carry your WiFi with you anywhere (instead of just using it indoors), and the fact that it has its own built-in VPN means you’ve got an unrestricted and secure internet connection that’s encrypted to protect your personal data.
What the iNomad does is give your devices access to 5G speeds by converting it into a WiFi 6 signal. Your laptop or iPad (or any other device really) might not be equipped to read 5G signals, but since the iNomad converts them into WiFi 6 signals, all your devices can benefit from speeds as high as 4Gb/s.
iNomad comes with its own built-in Zero-Log VPN that helps unlock the internet, allowing you to access websites that would otherwise be blocked by governments and ISPs (Internet Service Providers), while also ensuring that nobody can snoop on your internet activity. The iNomad even comes with the latest WPA3 encryption, which prevents people from being able to hack into your WiFi.
The iNomad portable router is roughly the size of your average power-bank, and comes with a neat faux carbon-fiber pattern on its outside. A small 2.4-inch color touchscreen on the router lets you access and control its various functions while even seeing upload/download speeds, as well as checking the iNomad’s battery level. A 6000mAh internal battery makes the iNomad practically a power-bank too, giving it up to 16 hours of continuous usage, and even letting you charge your devices. A USB-C slot on the router supports power and data delivery, while the iNomad even comes with a traditional Ethernet port, allowing you to directly hook devices via a LAN cable to the router.
However, here are a few things you should know. The iNomad runs off a 5G SIM card, which comes with its own internet plans – depending on which part of the world you are in, a plan could cost between $250 and $300 for an entire year of unlimited 5G internet (or more if you travel internationally between multiple countries/continents)… that’s still cheaper than most cellular plans although the caveat is that you’re limited by 5G availability.
The VPN that comes along with the iNomad is free for the first year, although it isn’t compulsory unless you’re extremely particular about internet privacy or you live in a country that imposes geo-restrictions on certain websites.
