A phone?

EDIT: That sounds a bit bluntly rude - But seriously - why not just a mobile phone?

IME phone hotspots chew thru the battery much faster than a dedicated appliance type one does.

Just watch out that there are still 3g only hotspots on retail shelves so dont end up with a slow one if you are buying new.

Depending how you are intending to use the hotspot 3G is still sufficient for most things, if price is any concern they are almost giving away 3g routers pricewise compared to 4G units these days. In real world terms when working remotely (outlook/SAP/networked spreadsheets etc) I can't usually pick any performance difference between 3G router or 4G hotspot from phone

If you are somewhere on holiday the 3g network is usually the first to turn to crap because of all the people there on holiday.

I have used the Huawei E5776 4G Mobile Wifi. Its a fairly small device and works nicely for sharing with up to 5 users.

Did a search and found this: Huawei R215 4G LTE It supports up to 10 devices. (PS: Don't know the shop)

Been happy with mine, but the last couple of trips now we have been getting prepay SIMs where we have been and used our own smartphones + sharing of data from them.

1eStar: Spark MF910 is the most versatile unit I've found. Covers most international frequencies and NZ's 700MHz band 28 LTE also. $200 from spark.

Nate ... I have a new 3G mobile modem/wifi hot spot available.

It's an Optus unit (Huawei E5251) that I bought and used a fortnight ago ... so virtually brand new.  Battery good for about 4 hours, but works well when plugged in to power (comes with charger) or connected directly to a single computer. 

Yours for $20 including delivery.

Thanks but I've already got a small unit like this and it not having a screen is a real PITA. :)

OK ... doesn't need a screen unless changing the Passwords etc , and that can be done before leaving home.

Thanks everyone, just picked up one of these today, came with 1.5GB of free data.  I've got a whole morning of meetings out west tomorrow, with very patchy Vodafone coverage so this'll come in handy.
