With the mifi you need a new type of router that supports "Wifi as WAN" like the Cradlepoint MBR95. The mifi functions as a router for other PC's but the MDR95 will provide routing for wired Ethernet connections and for printers.
With Wifi As Wan the mifi is the internet access point to the Cradlepoint which then broadcasts the WiFi signal and provides its own DHCP linking to computers, printers, bridges, etc. in a building and has greater range than a mifi and supports more computers and devices.
We use a Cradlepoint with Wifi as Wan at home and the mifi alone when on the road (where all we have is our two laptops).
