USB WiFi Adapter
I need to know if the Nighthawk C1900 WiFi USB Adapter will work with the Franklin Wireless R850 hot spot supplied by Sprint. I'm asking this question because a few months ago I purchased a Nighthawk router only to discover that it wouldn't work with Sprint. I'm currently using a Belkin USB Adapter that is not too effective in receiving the signal from the hotspot that's one floor below my music studio.

You are looking for something to receive wifi from the R850 hot spot?
I have no idea what the C1900 might be. It isn't a Netgear model number. CXXXX usually means a cable modem.
Maybe you mean AC1900. But that's a wifi speed thing, not a Netgear model number.
I would not expect a router to act as the receiver from a wifi source, unless you turn it into a wireless repeater. Routers are there to send out wifi. Not receive it.
But maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do.
