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.

Re: USB WiFi Adapter

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.
