Question

Thinking of going wireless only.&nbsp; &nbsp;Are there adapters for non-pc devices that plug&nbsp; into RJ45 ports and emulate wired connections from a mifi hotspot device connection ?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

I decided to go with the Nighthawk.&nbsp; &nbsp; I was trying to figure out how to extend an internal network to include wired internet devices like my little SAN box,&nbsp; &nbsp;various PC boxes,&nbsp; my home theater receiver,&nbsp; tv and so on.&nbsp; &nbsp;What I really wanted to find was a wireless downstream router for the hotspot that communicated wirelessly with the hotspot/router,&nbsp; &nbsp;instead of using a wired connection.&nbsp; &nbsp;So I looked around and found Arlo,&nbsp; and those types of solution.&nbsp; &nbsp; I think that for now,&nbsp; &nbsp;I'll keep my slow DSL and play with the hotspot in preparation for arrival of 5G,&nbsp; and maybe dump DSL at that point.

Of course,&nbsp; in my reply,&nbsp; I meant to say "orbi"&nbsp; &nbsp;not "arlo"&nbsp; as the device that would communicate router - router wirelessly.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sigh.&nbsp;Early onset senility is not all it's cracked up to be.&nbsp;Thanks for your help !
