Running a hotspot from your phone comes with advantages and disadvantages.

It’s more secure than a public Wi-Fi network, as you’re in charge, and you may well get better upload and download speeds.

On the downside, you may be limited in terms of your data allowance and battery life will take a hit.

Netgear Nighthawk M6 will deliver Wi-Fi 6 speeds to up to 32 devices when supplied with a SIM card.

It’s not cheap, but it’ll offer better range and speeds than your phone.

It's good enough to be used as a backup home router if your broadband goes out.
