Netgear Aircard Smart Cradle

I have a Netgear Aircard Smart Cradle. Is it possible to connect a printer to an Ethernet port, or does it have to be a USB modem?

 

Thanks

    Hi Dave000

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    The AirCard Smart Cradle (DC112A) has 5 ports - 1 Internet port and 4 Ethernet ports. You can wired your printer to the cradle to join the cradle's local area network (LAN).
