WNR2000 and Verizon Internet
So I have a particular situation and I am not sure if it can work or not.
So, my internet is provided by Verizon via this:
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/verizon-jetpack-4g-lte/4505-3319_7-34562125.html
I have a wireless adapter on my desktop, however, my father's does not.
I was wondering if I could connect my Netgear WNR2000 to his computer via ethernet adapter and use it to access the wifi that my Verizon router provides.
Feasable?
Let me know if I need to provide more details but I hope that I have explained the concept I am trying to execute here.
Thanks so much! Newbie poster here!
