While this configuration is well suited for perhaps the great majority of MiFi owners, there will nonetheless be power users and other mobile broadband warriors who what to push the limits of the MiFi's functionality. Here is a look at two popular accessories that may satisfy those urges:

batterypack1

External Battery Packs: A few manufacturers and retailers has designed external battery packs for the MiFi. These packs are sized to the fit the footprint of the MiFi quite nicely. They house Lithium Ion cells, that can be recharged over 500 times, and usually come with a decent wattage AC-Adaptor, so that the battery pack can be completely recharged in about an hour. These external battery packs will add between 8 and 12 additional runtime hours to the mobile hotspot- so you can end up being able to power your MiFi for a up to 16 continuous hours. These external battery packs sport a standard USB charging slot as well, so you can also plug in your other USB charged devices.

 

signalbooster2

External Signal Boosters: The MiFi does not have and external antenna, nor does it have a connection to add one.  This did not prevent a few companies from delivering on the promise to increase the range of the mobile hotspot.  These range extenders work by piggy-backing onto the MiFi. They are generally not much bigger than the MiFi itself, and work by passively reading the wireless signal of the MiFi and then retransmitting the signal several time stronger then the original.  These boosters also can also significantly improve the reception of the unit, since they can accept a variety of external antennas.  A good signal booster can actually inrease the range to that of a stationary WiFi router - about a 300 foot radius.
