Is this possible and if so how do I go about it?

Alright... here's my situation. I own a mobile business and bring a laptop with me on my route every day. I'd like to set it up so that I can print my invoices from my computer.
I bought the Lexmark Z418 with wireless capability.
Here's the problem: I currently just tether my connection (via bluetooth) from the kaiser for occasional web browsing; howver, I don't have a wireless network set up (no need when simply tethering). BUT I have to have a wireless network established in order to be able to print to this printer.
Should I:
A) Buy a wireless router and route my tether from the Kaiser to the Laptop to the Router and finally.... into a wireless signal (HAHA)
B) ????????? Help. Please? Any suggestions or ideas would be sincerely appreciated!
;-)
on my
can hardwire connect the laptop to the printer?
I forget the name but there is a programv that simulates a "virtual network"
It does come with a USB connection but that pretty much defeats the purpose the way that I have everything set up in my vehicle. :-( I have to do it temporarily for now and it's a pain in the neck.
if you can't make a virtual network perhaps your going to have to keep it hardwired you could get a long cable and run it realy nicely ie under the seat along the frame so itss not so noticeable
why is wireless so important? by the way
Hi,
I have connected a USB ethernet adapter to my Nexus 7 Wifi, and it seems to work, I can ping other host.
But I cannot use web browser because I need to set the proxy, as my company use a proxy for web navigation.
I don't know how to do this, I think that proxy in Wifi settings is of any use, as Wifi is off.
Any help?
Thanks,
Marco
The Chromecast connects very easily to the wifi network from the Actiontec router. No problem here.
For the part of the house where I need the Chromecasr, however, I have an Amped Wireless extender (AP300) into which ethernet from the router is connected and all devices in this part of the house have a very strong wireless signal.
The problem is that I can't get the Chromecast to connect to the extender's network, It sees the Chromecast I get the attached message when it tries to add to the network.
I am not very versed in networking so help is appreciated. I did check in the AP300's settings for isolation but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!
Exact same issue here...unable to connect (usually) to the Amped wireless repeater, but connect just fine with the main AP.
I wonder if this is an issue with other repeaters also?

According to their document you need to turn off AP Isolation
support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3210071?hl=en#___plusone_0
---------
Yes. You will need to disable AP/Client isolation, also known as client isolation, on your router. Please refer to your router documentation to learn how to disable AP isolation.
If you do not have access to your router settings, or if you are attempting to connect through a guest, hotel or public network with AP/client isolation, you will be unable to set up your Chromecast.
If you are attempting to connect through a Wi-Fi extender, please check your extender settings. You will need to disable AP isolation on your Wi-Fi extender before setting up Chromecast to work with your Wi-Fi network.

Sounds like they expect it to work on an extender....

Just for anyone who comes across this thread looking for a solution...
I managed to get it working by going into my Amped Settings at setup.ampedwireless.com , then I disabled LAPP setting. Works like a charm! Could be screwing something up I really have no clue.
Hey guys I have the following message...
Chromecast connected to wi-fi, but can't access the internet
I am in college and the only internet I can use is a VPN. Im not sure if that is the problem. I have my own router connected but its the colleges internet. Anyone have any idea how to get my chromecast running?

You need to turn AP isolation off in order to let your tablet or PC and the Chromecast talk to each other through the router connection. Most APs disallow this by default (ie: in a coffee shop, you don't want other devices to be able to access your client via the routers network). Given you're VPNing, you probably need something like a D-Link DIR 506L to make it work:

Thanks for the reply if i have to do this though I will just return the chromecast and get an apple tv because that would be the same price. Any other idea?
I read the threads on bypassing the throttle with pda net when connecting a pc to your phone wifi but what are the instructions if I want to connect another tablet like a galaxy tab or an ipad to my hotspot for unthrottled wifi
How can that be done? Change the ttl on those to 65? Use a vpn on those devices?

I know routers such as asus ac66u can spoof the ttl value. So theoretically you can connect your phone to the wifi router and spoof the TTL value, and then connect your devices to the wifi router. Can't guarantee it will work but worth a shot.

I guess I should mention this is for in the car. My kids play tablets when going on road trips and watch Netflix
They use the hotspot on my phone but it eats through that data cap before we reach our destination

A simple inverter would allow you to use a wifi router in the car.
