Invisibly, the MiFi device becomes redundant and has low utilization rate. In addition, the needs of the traditional MiFi device are portability and low power consumption, while the needs of the traditional CPE are high power and ultra-fast online connection function, which are completely different between the two. Currently, the market lacks portable wireless and electronic devices that can increase the utilization rate of the product, improve the overall performance, and save the economic overhead.

The fourth heat dissipation member 254 is provided on the other side of the WiFi module 242 and is used to dissipate heat generated by the WiFi module 242 and the front-end module FEM.
[0026] The aforementioned second antenna 210, the port 230, the WiFi unit 240, and the extended heat dissipation module 250 are disposed on a chassis 260. The chassis 260 has at least one first opening 262 and at least one second opening 264, where the first opening 262 is located at one end of the chassis 260 and the second opening 264 is located at the other end of the chassis 260.
[0027] The assembly includes a WiFi power supply 281, a network power supply (Ethernet Power) 282, a network jack 283 (RJ45), a network physical layer (Ethernet PHY) 284, a transformer (XFMR) 285, a power jack 286, and a battery connection member 287.

[0028] In this embodiment, the mobile wireless device with extended functions 100a may be a MiFi device, and the electronic device 300 may be a CPE.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 2, 3B, 4, 5B, and 6. Figure 6 shows a side view of the portable wireless device with expanded function 100a of Figure 3B being connected to the wireless expansion device 200a of Figure 5B to expand into the electronic device 300. When the portable wireless device with expanded function 100a is connected to the wireless expansion device 200a, the first case 162 and the second case 164 of the chassis 160 are respectively joined to both sides of the chassis 260. At least one heat dissipation path TP is formed between the first opening 262 and the second opening 264, thereby dissipating the heat generated by the portable wireless device with expanded function 100a and the wireless expansion device 200a. The electronic device 300 may be upright, so that the heat dissipation path TP forms a vertical channel, with the first opening 262 located at the bottom and the second opening 264 located at the top. When the assembly inside the electronic device 300 generates heat, the air inside is heated to form an updraft, and the hot air is discharged from the upper second opening 264, while the lower first opening 262 simultaneously draws in cool air from outside the body, forming a chimney effect to enhance air convection. The higher the heat temperature of the assembly, the faster the air convection speed, which is favorable for reducing the temperature inside the body of the electronic device 300.
[0030] For practical application, when a user is outdoors, the enhanced mobile wireless device 100a can be used alone, which includes five first cellular antennas 112 (5G antennas) and two first WiFi antennas 114, connects to the Internet via 5G, and shares with other mobile devices, such as mobile phones or laptops, via WiFi, allowing the user to use the network anytime and anywhere, and also reducing the power consumption of the battery 170 by using the WiFi connection.
[0031] When the user returns home or to the office, the portable wireless device with expanded functions 100a may be connected to the wireless expansion device 200a to expand the online connection function. In the connection process, the portable wireless device with expanded functions 100a is first shut down. After the shutdown is completed, the battery 170 and the second case 164 are removed, the first case 162 and the second case 164 are separated, and then the battery 170 is moved to the back of the wireless expansion device 200a together with the second case 164 to charge the battery 170.
[0032] After removing the battery 170 and the second case 164 from the portable wireless device 100a with expanded function, three first ports 131, one second port 132, one third port 133, one fourth port 134, and one fifth port 135 are exposed, and the second heat dissipation member 154 is also exposed to facilitate heat dissipation.
[0033] Next, the portable wireless device with expansion function 100a and the wireless expansion device 200a are combined. With the battery 170 and the second case 164 removed and the second heat dissipation member 154 exposed, the internal space extends to the inside of the entire electronic device 300, so the entire internal space is enlarged, and this enlarged internal space is more favorable for heat dissipation. With the same power, the larger the space, the lower the average temperature, so more temperature buffer space can be used; in other words, with the same temperature threshold, the power of WiFi can be further increased to improve the signal coverage.
[0034] Thus, the electronic device 300 of the present invention takes the extended function portable wireless device 100a as its main architecture, and can be extended to CPE by connecting with the wireless extension device 200a, so that users can use one device for multiple purposes to achieve maximum utilization, and also greatly improve the online connection function of the wireless network. In addition, the expansion and space enlargement of the heat dissipation module 150 and the extended heat dissipation module 250 can enhance the overall heat dissipation capability, so that the transmission power of the electronic device 300 can be further improved, and the coverage range and speed of the online connection can be improved.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 2, 4, 6 and 7. Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the beamforming technology of the present invention. When the portable wireless device with extended function 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the port 130 of the portable wireless device with extended function 100a and the port 230 of the wireless extension device 200a are coupled to each other. At this time, the 5G antenna increases from five antennas (i.e., five first cellular antennas 112) to eight antennas (i.e., five first cellular antennas 112 and three second cellular antennas 212), and the WiFi antenna increases from two antennas (i.e., two first WiFi antennas 114) to four antennas (i.e., two first WiFi antennas 114 and two second WiFi antennas 214), realizing the beamforming of four sets of antennas and obtaining a longer transmission distance. As a result, the present invention can further provide beamforming technology since the number of antennas can be increased through connection and expansion, resulting in a wider WiFi coverage and higher online connection speeds.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 3B, 5B, 6, and 8. Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of a metal dome sheet 256 used in the extended heat dissipation module 250a of the present invention. The extended heat dissipation module 250a includes a third heat dissipation member 252a, a fourth heat dissipation member 254, and a plurality of metal dome sheets 256. The metal dome sheet 256 is connected to the third heat dissipation member 252a. The WiFi module 242 is connected between the third heat dissipation member 252a and the fourth heat dissipation member 254. When the extended function-equipped portable wireless device 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the metal dome sheet 256 is connected to the second heat dissipation member 154. The metal dome sheets 256 are made of thermally conductive elastic metal, and the WiFi module 142 can enhance heat dissipation through the metal dome sheets 256, and can ensure that one end of each metal dome sheet 256 exerts a certain pressure on the second heat dissipation member 154, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation capability of the WiFi module 142.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 3B, 5B, 6 and 9. Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of an extended heat dissipation module 250b of the present invention using a balance spring 258. The extended heat dissipation module 250b includes a third heat dissipation member 252b, a fourth heat dissipation member 254, a plurality of balance springs 258 and a fifth heat dissipation member 259. The balance spring 258 connects the third heat dissipation member 252b and the fifth heat dissipation member 259, and the fifth heat dissipation member 259 includes a plurality of heat dissipation fins 2592. The WiFi module 242 is connected between the third heat dissipation member 252b and the fourth heat dissipation member 254. When the extended function-equipped portable wireless device 100a is connected to the wireless extension device 200a, the heat dissipation fins 2592 of the fifth heat dissipation member 259 are connected to the second heat dissipation member 154. In this embodiment, balance springs 258 are provided at the four corners of the third heat dissipation member 252b, and guide angles are formed on the heat dissipation fins 2592 to be contacted. The guide angles are used to guide the heat dissipation fins 2592 into the grooves of the second heat dissipation member 154 during contact. The balance springs 258 can reduce structural errors and ensure that all the heat dissipation fins 2592 are smoothly docked with the second heat dissipation member 154, thereby improving the heat dissipation ability of the WiFi module 142.
