Review of renting Ninja WiFi at the Shinjuku office
Here is a summary of my impressions of my actual rental in the Shinjuku office. Please refer to it if you are considering picking up at the Shinjuku office.
Why did you receive a Ninja WiFi device at the Shinjuku office?
The reason I rented the Shinjuku office this time was because I had to use my computer outside the office on short notice for work and needed WiFi. I looked for a place nearby where I could pick up the WiFi on the same day, and I was told that Shinjuku was available for same-day pickup.
My experience with Ninja WiFi devices
Ninja WiFi Review
The WiFi device I rented this time was a Softbank K4. Since it was my first time using pocket WiFi, I was worried if I could connect well, but it was easy to connect as all I had to do was turn it on and enter the password.
I participated in a Zoom meeting at a cafe with Ninja WiFi and had no problems, with only a few interruptions along the way. I had about 2.5 GB of free space after participating in a Zoom meeting for about an hour, so I tried surfing the Internet and connecting my phone after the meeting with no problems. However, I found the speed to be a little slow in crowded places and on trains.
Ninja WiFi Review
We never used the mobile battery we had available, and the battery in the unit was very good and lasted all day despite constant use. We only connected it to one phone, which may have extended the battery life.
The internet speed and connection was also incredible. I was able to connect to all websites and apps without any delays and was able to view high resolution streams with ease. Video and video calls were also smooth. The connection was uninterrupted, both on the subway and in the countryside.
