Hi my recommendation is a TP-Link TL-MR6400. This is a 300Mbps 4G mobile wi-fi router with SIM slot unlocked to all networks and no configuration required. It also has removable external wi-fi antennas.
30.00 and a very good make and you can control it with the TP-LINK APP And TP-Link TetherApp
I Have this one and it has amazing reviews and a good price or if you have any routers or modems sitting around your house by any isp supplying organisation then use that in bridge mode and use it as a range extended or a modum on its own

Hi, I have a couple of 4GEE 'mifi' routers, the bigger ones have good battery life, are fairly cheap second hand and if needed can be unlocked easily. I find they do freeze up occasionally but very useable and of course, portable.

Hello, how did you unlock? I phoned EE and they wouldn’t allow me to unlock it, they wanted me to buy an EE data plan

Unlock codes are available from third parties on eBay, for example.
One of my 4GEE mobile routers has just failed, sadly. I replaced it with a BT mini hub.

MarkWeatherill Don't forget that, if a device is outside of contract, the original network are obliged to unlock it free.
