First, a wireless 3/4G router connects to more device to the internet than any of the other 3 options. In fact, most routers we have seen connect up to 32 devices to the internet. Mifis hook up at most 10 devices while a USB dongle supports only one device. That means you have enough room to get your dog connected! But there’s more.
