How to make a "wired" printer mobile?

How to make a "wired" printer mobile?


I have a label printer which requires a cable to my router. It works great, at home. But, I need to also take it on the road.


I have used MiFi hotspots, but those are wireless.


Is there a wired hostpot option?


Thanks

That looks pretty great.

So, I assume this means, I need to:
1) plug the printer into the device
2) Turn device and printer on
3) connect to network, the print.

But, how does it connect to the cell towers? Do I need to get a dedicated phone number at Verizon Wireless?

Or, does it connect via my hotspot?

I do not plan on being anywhere near my wireless router. This would be when I am out of the house.


Thanks.

I have a MacBook, which prints to:
DYMO Label printer via a hard wire to router (no WiFi connection to router)
iPhone with Hotspot available.

I need to move to a remote office.

So, it sounds like I would:
1)plug the WavLink into the wall
2) plug the printer into the WavLink
3) turn the hotspot on

Then what?

How do I connect the WavLink to the hotspot's network?

Does the WavLink have a Mac app where I would configure it? I see this menu, but am not sure where I would find that...
