As I am not a full timer I have no objection to not having internet for a few days. In fact, it does me good. Makes time in my life, mind and marriage for other things.

Sometimes I will take the laptop, other times just the Kindle. And I will go to the ranger station, GC office or sometimes the local library for the Wi-Fi. Then it's back to camp to enjoy a small bit of the world without Internet.

Which doesn't do you any good.

I understand some "smart phones" have an optional Wi-Fi hotspot that you can attach your PC to. How that works I have no clue. And I have heard of a PCI card or USB device that is essentially a cell phone for your computer.

Anybody know about these type devices? Can somebody help poor Carl out?

I Googled "mobile hotspot" and all sorts of solutions were there. Most were cellular.
