Mobley

I was fortunate to get 2 Mobley’s $20 unlimited plans which we have used for over a year. I have adapters to use inside our house or in our RV. Had a contract with Centurylink and was just today able to cancel their service. Did not consider my WiFi printer and now do not know how to connect it to the Mobley so it can air print from my devices. I can get the printer to become discoverable and search but don’t know how to get the Mobley to connect to it. I am very limited in my technology skills any advise would be appreciated.

    If you need the ability to connect more than the 5 allowed by the Mobley, you can get a Netgear router and increase the range (plus add 5G speed) and the number of devices to 15. You just move the SIM card.

    Bill, which Netgear device is 5G ready?

    I think this one: Netgear 4G LTE Modem coupled with any wireless router. Scroll down the link and you will see a sample installation. It is my backup plan in case the Mobley dies or I need more than 5 connections.

    No, 5Ghz wifi (vs. 2.4) between router and device. Sorry for the confusion.

    Ahh! Ok, that makes sense then. I haven't seen any 5G cell hotspots yet, but I'm sure they'll be coming along...

    No 5G data speeds there either (not 5Ghz WiFi). I use my Mobley with a Cradlepoint router/repeater for as many connections as I need. I also have a Netgear Explore hotspot that I swap the Mobley SIM into from time to time when I need a more portable device.

    Am I understanding this correctly? I can take the SIM out of my Mobley, put in the Netgear, connect the Netgear to a router, and I'm good to go and ATT has no problem with any of this?
