Wingles
A Wingle falls somewhere between a 3G dongle and a mifi. It looks like a dongle, but doesn't have to be plugged into a computer, it just needs 5V usb power, for example from a wall socket.
The Wingle acts as a wifi hub, for five or ten different devices.
It is also known as an in-car mifi and comes with an adaptor which lets it plug into a cigar lighter socket.
Mine is an E8231, with wifi for ten devices.
The wifi password was difficult to find, it is hidden in 192.168.8.1, way down the WLAN settings page.
I have the Wingle plugged straight into the wall adaptor, no wires, and creating a local wifi hotspot. Perfect!
