It connects up to 10 devices, is rated for up to 150 Mbps download, runs up to 8 hours per charge, and charges over USB-C. The Amazon listing bundles 15 GB of data and advertises coverage in 150 or more countries. This is a prepaid, pay-as-you-go device: when the bundle runs out, you buy more data from Ryoko's online portal.

Once you use it up, you buy prepaid data from Ryoko's portal in whatever amount you need. Ryoko states that top-ups can be bought at any time and that there is no contract and no roaming surcharge, but it does not publish top-up plan sizes or a validity period for bundled data on its site, so check the current listing for both before you rely on the device for a long trip. The device will not work with a SIM card from your own carrier, which means all data must come through Ryoko. Budget for that if you expect to stream video or run a laptop all day. A 1080p stream uses roughly 1.5 GB to 3 GB per hour, so 15 GB covers a few evenings of video or a couple of weeks of email, maps, and messaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich networks does the Ryoko Pro use?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt rides on partner carrier networks in each country and picks the strongest available signal automatically; Ryoko does not name the carriers it uses. In practice this works like roaming on a travel SIM: coverage follows the local partners, so a rural area with weak LTE from every carrier will still be weak on this device.

It is not unlocked for other carriers' SIM cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the 15 GB of free data last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt lasts until you use it, subject to any expiry window set by the listing. Ryoko does not publish a validity period on its site, so confirm the expiry terms on the Amazon listing before you buy. After the bundle is gone, you pay for prepaid top-ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many devices can the Ryoko Pro handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 10 at once. All 10 share one LTE connection, so total speed is split among them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Ryoko Pro as my home internet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a good fit. Prepaid per-GB data is expensive for daily home use, and the device has no Ethernet port. A fixed connection with your own \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cable-modems\"\u003ecable modem\u003c\/a\u003e or a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/starlink-internet\"\u003eStarlink setup\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice for a household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Ryoko Pro secure on public networks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt creates a private, password-protected WiFi network for your devices, which keeps them off shared hotel and airport WiFi. For encryption of the traffic itself, run a VPN client such as Proton VPN or Mullvad on each device; the hotspot does not include a VPN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ryoko Pro support 5G?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a 4G LTE device rated up to 150 Mbps download. Speeds in practice depend on the partner network and signal strength at your location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.mg-desc p,.mg-desc li{font-size:17px !important;line-height:1.6 !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc li{margin-bottom:6px;}\n.mg-desc h2{font-size:24px !important;margin:28px 0 10px !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc h3{font-size:19px !important;margin:20px 0 6px !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-spec-table{width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:14px 0 22px;font-size:16px;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-spec-table th,.mg-desc .mg-spec-table td{padding:10px 12px;border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.3);text-align:left;vertical-align:top;line-height:1.5;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-spec-table th{background:rgba(10,94,166,0.08);font-weight:700;}\n.mg-desc .mg-spec-table tbody tr:nth-child(even){background:rgba(128,128,128,0.06);}\n.mg-desc .mg-spec-table td:first-child{font-weight:600;width:34%;}\n.mg-desc .mg-td-label{display:none;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross{border:2px solid rgba(179,164,134,0.6);border-left:6px solid #b3a486;border-radius:10px;padding:14px 18px;margin:24px 0;background:rgba(179,164,134,0.06);color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross .mg-cross-kicker{font-size:13px !important;letter-spacing:0.08em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.75;margin:0 0 6px !important;font-weight:700;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross .mg-cross-text{margin:0 !important;font-size:17px !important;line-height:1.5 !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross a{font-weight:700;color:inherit;text-decoration:underline;}\n@media (max-width:768px){\n  .mg-desc p,.mg-desc li{font-size:16px !important;}\n  .mg-desc h2{font-size:22px !important;}\n  .mg-desc .mg-spec-table{font-size:15px;}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"RYOKO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50677502607446,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/9463\/2534\/files\/CopyofUntitledDesign_22.png?v=1793377673","url":"https:\/\/www.modemguides.com\/products\/ryoko-pro-portable-wifi-router","provider":"ModemGuides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
