Dingle Dongle Dingle.....                                       

                ......soon be Christmas.

 

Anyway, if your refering to a 3/4G USB Modem Dongle, there a bit old hat now, most of them, if not all that are still around will not support the later LTE CAT Technology and 4G+ Speeds that are available these days, your be better off investing in a Modern Portable MiFi Device or even using a decent 4G Phone in Hotspot mode.

Many users call a mobile BB router a "dongle". Which particular device is it?

Yes I know.

 

or even a Dingle.

 

See I'm old now, back in the 80s a Dongle Device was something you plugged into your Serial or Parallel Port and it would then enhance or unlock specific Software you had on your PC or Lappy.

@EssexBoyEE : Yes, I know all that too & was around at that time if not earlier 😉 .
