As a rough guide to signal strength:
When powered by the supplied AC charger 

– up to 30 metres indoors.

Why does my Pocket WiFi

TM 

2 get 

hot when I use it for long periods 
of time?

This is quite normal. The Pocket WiFi

TM 

2 has a built in temperature protection 

function. So if it gets too hot it will 

automatically switch off.
