My mother-in-law recently purchased a Wireless Fivespot device as the primary means to get broadband for her new laptop. She does not have any other broadband or WiFi connection in-house other than this device.
My wife would like to buy her a wireless printer to allow her to print from the laptop. I know that wireless printers require being part of a network in order to be able to print to them. However, my expertise lies in adding wireless devices to a network that consists of a cable modem/wireless router. I have no experience adding a wireless devices to a 3G broadband network.
That said, I have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to incorporate a wireless printer using the Fivespot device?
2. If so, what printer(s) have you successfully gotten working?
3. What steps are needed to add a printer to this type of network?
4. What are the caveats of doing so (i.e. does the Fivespot need to be turned on while printing)?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. We're trying to make this happen for Christmas so timing is of the essence.
Thank you!
