Mobile Devices (Tablets — Anroid or iOS) can be your Wi-Fi Hotspot . Go to the device's Settings to perform the configuration change. When in Aruba a SETAR or Digicel micro SIM or SIM is needed.(Don't lose the one that you take out - It Will Be Needed when you return home.) Purchase the requisite data plan.

If you have a newer generation MiFi device you may be able to swap out the micro SIM.

For our August 2017 stay we used a SETAR micro SIM & data plan with our Samsung Tablet.
