hello,
i will be visiting my parents in India soon after many years.
i will be there for about 1 month.
i am staying at my parents house, it is in Delhi.
i need Wifi Internet access while I am there.
What are the options?
My parents house doesn't have any type of internet access.
I don't want to buy a new cell phone there and I don't want to swap the SIM card in my Canadian cell phone.
ideally, what I need is like one of those Wifi sticks or routers I can just plug in the house and have wifi internet access.
paying for the service is not an issue...my company will cover the cost.
I just need some good, reliable options for video conference calls etc.
thanks in advance.

Thanks Mitron for your informative posts.
I have to check what kind of coverage Jio has in my area in Delhi.
Airtel should have good coverage.
do you think it is better to just buy a 4G enabled cell phone with lots of data and just use that as a hotspot around the house?
I can just connect my computer and cell phone to the hotspot wifi.
the cost of the cell phone will be extra, but is this a better option?
sorry for the basic questions....I am not a techie...
thanks.

If you are just going to use internet 3-4 hrs a day, the phone as a hot spot will be more than enough.
But if you are going to use it 10 hrs a day, better to have a WiFi dongle or stick.
Leave the dongle behind for your parents and for your future visits.
There are strict verification of ID for purchasing any Wifi items. Aaadhaar card is asked these days. So you have to buy this, using your parents as a front.
Only tops ups / monthly payements are a breeze. All other, you need passport sized photo, Aadhaar card and there will be a verification call.
