Recommendation for a MIFI hotspot?

I agree with Andy's suggestion. I have a TP-Link router with a USB port. The router is pretty tiny and runs off USB power or off AC. No battery, but I find I always run off AC so I don't want a battery to be deteriorating.

I can put in any data stick I like that it supports and off I go.

Recently I just updated my data stick from HSPA+ to LTE and it was just plug and play. No reconfiguring necessary, even. It just worked.

As a bonus, my router has a wired port too which is nice to use if I work close to the router. You could hook it up to a switch if you needed more ports.
