five alternatives to connect without using your router

Let’s tell you five alternatives for when you run out of Internet at homeeither due to a network outage or because the router has stopped working. Because whether it’s because you work at home or because you’re watching a series or movie and you don’t want to stop, it’s a good idea to take these alternatives into account. In this list, in addition to describing each of the available alternatives We will also tell you some points for and against for each one. This way, you will be able to make more informed decisions. Share Internet from your mobile If you have a decent amount of mobile data contracted, the best alternative is share Internet from your mobile. To the share your mobile datayou will create a WiFi network to which you can connect other devices, and you can even give it a personalized name and password. It’s a great solution, because you can actually give it the same name and password as your home WiFi so that all devices connect. Here, the only thing you have to keep in mind is that you will use a lot of battery on your mobile, and depending on what you are going to do you can spend a lot of data on your mobile rate, that is, it controls the downloads. Have a MiFi router at home MiFi routers are portable routers that work with SIM card. They have their own battery, and are used to create their own WiFi network, something that will also serve as an alternative to using the home mobile rate by connecting your SIM to this device. It is a more professional solution to avoid wasting your phone’s battery, but you will need to have purchased the device and have a SIM with data ready to use. Additionally, not all of these devices have 5G speeds, most tend to only have 4G. Use a router with SIM An alternative is desktop routers with 4G or 5G data, which use a SIM card. These They have better stability and WiFi coverage than MiFiso in large houses or greater needs you can get a solvent alternative network. The negative part here is that these routers do not have a battery and need to be plugged in, so They won’t work if you don’t have electricity. at home. You will also need to have a SIM with data to put it in. Dual WAM Routers This is a lesser known type of router called routers with failover either double WAN (Dual WAN). They are routers that They work with two types of connection at the same timeyour main fiber and a second fiber, a SIM or even a USB stick with 4G/5G. Thus, when the main network goes down or has problems, you automatically jump to the second until the main network returns to normal. If the problem is that the power goes out: UPS/SUPS If the problem why your router is not working is because the power has gone out, have a UPS on hand It is usually a good alternative. UPS/SUPS can be large or small, and are like advanced portable batteries that can give you a great deal of extra autonomy.

It costs almost the same as the 16 TB and can be connected to the Wifi router

There are few computers that come with base configurations that have little storage – I am very 256 GB in my Mac Mini M4-. That is why on many occasions it is convenient to have some external unit that allows us to store all the photos, videos, music or, in general, files. The Western Digital Mybook It is perfect for this, since it has fallen in price to the 357 euros in its 22 TB configuration. If you prefer, in Amazon it is available in several configurations, although the one that has better value for money is the 22 TB: Western Digital Mybook (22TB) * Some price may have changed from the last review A unit that connects to the router per wifi The Western Digital Mybook is a desktop unit that, in any case, has a fairly good configuration to store many photos, videos, music and files. In this case, it has a fairly compact size, since its dimensions are 17 cm high, 13.9 cm long and 4.9 cm wide. Comes equipped with software WD Backupwhich allows backups, and is compatible with Time Machine. It can be configured to run at the time we want to make backup copies, thus creating fully customized hours. Includes 256 -bit AES Hardware encryption to offer extra protection, it is designed to resist even blows and It can be connected to the router through wifi connection so that the unit can be accessed from any room in the house.

Chatgpt now has a “router” that chooses for us what GPT-5 model use. And is choosing the cheapest

The launch of GPT-5 It has not been up to the expected. Instead of being surprised with the generational jump, too many people have missed GPT-4o warmth. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, anticipated the launch of the New model with the death starbut the Hype It has stayed very far from the moments wow like the Chatgpt images generationthat reached “melter” servers. One of the culprits has a name: “router” or router. What happened. Behind him Model nomenclatures mess of OpenAI (already Remember Xiaom’s mobile messi) and the fact of making the user have to choose which one more, the company chose to launch all (sub) GPT-5 models in a unified way. Now the system would choose the model that estimated the most to resolve the indication. The person in charge of this task is a “router”. This, “quickly decides which model to use based on the type of conversation, complexity, or the need for tools.” The problem is that in these first days, the router usually opts too many times by the basic GPT-5 model, in front of the “Thinking” model or reasoner. What has made the new generation seen as much more silly than Sam Altman came to affirm (he defended it was like have a team of doctors at your disposal). The necessary jump It seemed impossibleand indeed, many users have not felt it. The problem. Openai decides which model is more efficient for the user, but also which model is more efficient for their servers. At the launch of GPT-5, they have not been transparent about what leads them to use one model or another, and users who accuse them of choosing the cheapest model for Save costs. Aidan McLaughlin, employee of Openai, defended in x that prefers GPT-5 without reasoning the majority (65%) of times for how interacts with the user. He assured that they do not use the routing to save costs, but use the one they think is the best model for each consultation, for efficiency. It seemed a successbut it has arrived without complying with what users expect. Altman recognized launch failures. During a question session (AMA) on Reddit held on Friday, Sam Altman read and observed that for many users, GPT-5 did not work as well as 4th. To it He replied That the new model seemed “more silly”, because the router did not work well when they threw it on Thursday. Who warns is not a traitor. On July 19, after announcing great performance in Mathematics OlympiadAltman announced that GPT-5 was just around the corner, in front of images like that of the death star, he was cautious, claiming to want to establish realistic expectations: “This is an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques that we will use in future models” “We believe you will love GPT-5, but we do not plan to launch a model with the gold capacity level of the mathematical Olympiad for many months.” The case remembers Sora’s, who was shown Very green After the Initial announcement promisesor that of O3, which was launched with a performance in benchmarks inferior to the initially promised (Unleashing everything A debate about whether we were already in the AGI). Openai has had to make changes. Before the complaints, from OpenAi they took a great measure: return to the users of the subscription Plus the possibility that the subscribers of the plan (of 20 euros per month) will use 4th again. But, in addition, they have touched the router to better choose the appropriate model to each consultation. Of course, without explaining what leads to use one or the other. The trick (if you pay). When users perceived that the problem of the new chatgpt with GPT-5 was not the model itself, but that the router did not turn to the reasoning model, they launched to look for ways to make GPT-5 Thinking use. The way to do it has been to integrate phrases such as “think about your in -depth response” in the indications, as suggested and demonstrated DOTCSV. In this way, it is achieved that, for Plus users, chatgpt use the Thinking model Without spending the quota of 200 weekly messages Manual mode. This trick does not apply to the free model, which could only activate it without asking for GPT-5 Thinking automatically once a day. Use free reasoning. Another change confirmed by Altman has been to integrate a reasoning button again (hidden) to use the reasoning model in the free version. Trying it, Chatgpt acknowledges using the GPT-5 Thinking Mini model, and we have been able to use it in 10 messages. From there, he used the model without reasoning. Is the successor of O4-miniwhich in April also received for free Reasoning functions With a “Think” button. Result: More use of reasoning. After announcing an increase in reasoning limits, Sam Altman has offered Specific data of the number of users who use reasoning now before the launch, and what indicates is the little that was used before, even among payment users. Free users have gone from less than 1% to 7%, but what the most collides is that those who paid the plus only used 7% reasoning, compared to 24% of now. It surprises in the sense that the reasoning of O1 and O3 supposed one of the great advantages over the free plan, thus the capacities of Deep Research.
