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...

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.
