Can anyone recommend a good world-wide 4G MiFi device? Preferably with a media SD card server built-in.
I loved this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-M7350-LTE-Advanced-l... but I went to the US and it doesn't have the correct frequency range.
I have a SIM with Three, hence the US use as well.
Thanks for any suggestions.

There are few if any that have truly worldwide coverage, sadly. The more bands you support, the more compromised the antenna has to be.
Typically, devices support the LTE bands used in Europe or the bands used in North America, but not both.

iPad Mini 2 Cellular is likely the closest thing to a world band MiFi :-/

Was going to suggest something like tethering to a tablet, played with a couple of mi-fi devices and generally find the hot spot from a tablet is much more useable
Alas 3G/4G band support in tablets and phones is not always identical world wide so may need to confirm bands supported by each one before purchase.

Not many tablets support Cat6 LTE yet. I bought a Huawei Cat 6 Mifi from Amazon which has a lot of freq support but the only ones missing are North America (USA & Canada) - which is the same as many phones.

Apple iPhone 5s and later are pretty much 'one model for world' but the 6 and 6s have more LTE bands than the 5s - mostly noticeable with T-Mobile USA.
IPad Air 2 is the iPhone 6 - there isn't an iPad Air 3 yet - so Cat 4 LTE . I would assume iPad Pro is Cat 6.

You'd need an expensive EE data SIM service, or Vodafone, to use it. The other networks don't have Cat6 (4G+).

Have a search for TEP Wireless. It's a rental service where you hire a device for the duration of your trip abroad. Sweet point is two sharing, used one last month for a USA trip and worked perfectly in California, Hawaii, Texas and NYC.

It seems that Netgear have just released one meets most of what I wanted (apart from the SD Card sharing). This one: http://www.netgear.com/service-providers/products/mo...
REALLY expensive though at £220+
