We have an office at a remote site. We connect to broadband via Verizon MiFI 5510L. No problem there.
We also have a wireless router (Cisco Linksys EA3500) to which we have printer(s) connected to (wired LAN).
I can WiFi to Cisco router to print, but lose internet and vice versa.
Tried to plug my computer into the router (using switch ports) while connected via WiFI to MiFi. Internet connection is unavailable as soon as I connect.
If I plug the MiFI into USB on my laptop in Tether mode I can get internet access on the Cisco router and use the printers. But if my laptop is not present, the connection is broken.
Have not tried (dont have the adapter, if one is even made) to connect MiFI in tehter mode via USB to the uplink (internet port) on the Cisco router. Would that work? Probably a non starter, as MiFI is battery powered through USB. Connected to router via an adapter would probably not provide power.
How can I accomplish what I am trying to do?
Thanks,
Ernie
