Which LTE capable smartphone with a built-in hotspot feature would be most suited for use as a dedicated device that will only be used as a hotspot (and have no other use)? The phone will remain in one place, attached to a power outlet, unmoved.
I would like to use the device on the Sprint network on an account without the hotspot feature enabled on the account level. So I would need to modify the device to be able to work in this manner. What modifications would I need to make on the phone so that it can be used as a hotspot (either directly on Sprint or on an MVNO such RingPlus or FreedomPop) without hotspot being active on the account? And how difficult would it be to make those modifications?
Which LTE smartphone models are known to have better reception or range for hotspot use, in terms of best WiFi range, speed for connected devices and number of devices capable to connect to it? If desiring to keep costs for the device at a minimum, would a used device work any less well than a new one? And, of course, which specific models have the best cost/value proposition for use for this purpose? (Or, perhaps, for LTE hotspot only use there is little differences between most models?)
