Adding to Wirless USB adapter (dongle)

Hi all.

Is there a way I can add broadband as pay as you go on my wireless USB adapter?

I want to use the laptop while on the go, but as this rarely happens I'm not wanting to pay monthly for internet access I would only use once in a while

All I can find on this site is for people who want to sign a contract of buy bundles

Sorry, what is the wireless USB adapter? What's it attached to? Do you have a make & model no. for it?

It's what used to be a dongle. Mine is a tp-link AC600

I have used one in the past with EE. The dongle is plugged into a laptop and the internet access can be added to it, say, a month at a time. People use them while away from home.

I used the dongle on a shared laptop I had borrowed but don't have the same dongle now.

I just visited the EE site and can'f find any information.

That's just a WiFi adapter. It has no connectivity to anything outside or any form of BB. It just provides WiFi throughout your home.

You want something that'll take a SIM, like a Mobile Router . EE only sell them on contract but you can get them on online sites to take PAYG SIMs.
