Simple Connection Question
I have a new ReadyNAS RN10200 and have a simple connection question. My computers connect to the internet through a mobile hotspot on my cell phone, so I have no physical router to which to connect ...
You can get a WiFi extender (or use a WiFi router in bridge mode). That will let you connect the NAS via ethernet.
Thanks! And if I connect to a bridge via ethernet, will that disable the computer's wifi connection to the mobile hotspot? I have a bridge and seems that I tried that but then had a problem with the wifi.

Your hotspot should see the extender as another client. So it should not affect your computer's wifi connection. There may be an issue with the specific bridge/hot spot combination you are using though.
Were you getting internet from the ethernet connection?
