Sonim Zenith H500 5G Mobile Hotspot
Question about Sonim Zenith H500 5G Mobile Hotspot
I would like to install this device in my caravan. As we are on campsites, I would like to ask whether this device can also be used as a WiFi router without a SIM card? Is it possible to log in via the campsite's wifi and connect several devices to the wifi via the router? On many campsites you have to buy a separate access for each device, now I am looking for a router where I only have to buy one access to the wifi and can connect the rest of the devices to the router. Thank you very much

The device is a mobile router that is primarily designed for use with a SIM card to provide an Internet connection via mobile networks. It is not intended to connect directly to an external WLAN, such as the WLAN of a campsite, without a SIM card and then redistribute this as a router for several devices.
This means that you cannot use the device to log directly into the campsite's Wi-Fi and then connect several devices to this Wi-Fi via the router. The mobile hotspot functions as an independent access point that converts a mobile phone connection (via SIM card) into WiFi.
If you only want to buy access to the campsite's Wi-Fi and then distribute it to several devices via a router, you will need a Wi-Fi router with a client or repeater function that can dial into an existing Wi-Fi network and distribute it further. The mobile hotspot described here does not support this function.
To summarise: The mobile hotspot cannot be used as a WLAN router for an external WLAN without a SIM card in order to connect several devices via it [product data].
