But what do you think is the best option for you? If you’re hunting for good internet at the moment and want a little inspo, keep scrolling to check out an edit of all Airtel 4G Home Internet solutions available in Uganda.
Airtel 4G Pocket MiFi
Airtel 4G MiFi routers have been around for quite some time. For the uninitiated, a MiFi router is a portable rechargeable device that provides a WiFi hotspot and enables limited multiple connections. The biggest perk of a small pocket MiFi router is it can be used away from a power source. Airtel 4G pocket MiFi costs UGX123,000 and connects up to 10 users. It comes with 15GB of data free valid for a month. Keep in mind, MiFi routes usually have a limited coverage range and this is no different. The range means weaker WiFi signal strength when you are far from the MiFi device.

Airtel 4G SmartBox
Airtel 4G Smartbox has been flying under the radar but it’s the only flagship 4G router device from Airtel Uganda. The device connects up to 32users and costs UGX280,000. Same with the pocket MiFi, the 4G Smartbox comes with 15GB of data valid for a month which has to be activated by the Airtel agent you bought the device from. It provides no additional benefit than having a bigger number of users to be connected and a wider coverage range than a pocket MiFi in my books. Any unlocked TP-Link router or an alternative is a better option than this.
