Hi,
I am currently setting up an ip camera system for a small business with no router but has a verizon hotspot device the size of a wallet. I was wondering is there a way to have a hotspot device tie into the router wirelessly (no ports on hotspot device) so the laptop being used for monitoring can still have internet/ all go through same gateway.

Pretty much this laptop needs to be on 2 networks at once but if I can combine them via the router I would like to do that if possible.

Thanks in advance

I'm in the same boat. I have a router set as a repeater with 4 lan ports. Router connects to my iPad which has a hotspot built into it. And is in reapeater mode that is connected wirelessly. I have a printer hard wired to my repeater. The hotspots ip address is 70.211.x.x and the router/repeater is 192.168.1.1. Router and hotspot are both on subnet 255.255.255.0. I can't get my iPad to see the printer. Router is an Asus rt-n12.
