I also learned that the MiFi 4510L only supports 5 connections, but the router software in the MiFi4510L will support 10 IP addresses.

I connected the wired desktop and printer to the wireless range extender and configured the wireless range extender to attach to the MiFi 4510L. The device that I purchased had four wired ethernet ports. It is essentially a wireless network repeater.

This is a device (and there are several manufacturers) that is designed to extend the range of your wireless router. So, I needed a way to connect my wired devices to the wireless network.Īfter some searching, I found a "Wireless Range Extender". The MiFi 4510L does not provide ethernet ports, obviously. My desktop and printer (both without wireless connectivity) were connected to the wired ethernet ports. My wireless router had had 4 wired ethernet ports. When I switched to the MiFi 4510L for my Internet connection at home, I discontinued the service from my ISP which had brought Internet into my home using an ethernet cable which was attached to my wireless router. I would assume that your RV repeater would be catagorized as one of these all-in-one devices as opposed to a simple repeater. This tells me that your repeater is probally offering its own SSID/routing service to make connecting more convenient for you as you roam from network to network in your RV. You mention that your repeater allows you to sign in and connect directly to it. These devices are designed to work exclusively with wireless networks and should be compatible with the MiFi 4510L. You dont have to connect directly to the device, just be in the proximity of it and it will boost your signal.ĭevices like the Pepwave Surf are a wireless repeater, booster, filter and router all-in-one. A good example of a simple repeater would be a car booster kit for your cell phone. Repeaters simply collect, boost and rebroadcast wireless signals to make them cover a wider area. A wireless repeater does not make any decisions. A router is an intellegent device which makes decisions on where to forward packets of information to specific machines. Lets remember that a wireless repeater is not the same device as a wireless router. However, most home routers do not have repeaters built into them and that is what the OP is asking about. Should I not be able to connect the repeater to the 4510?Ī wireless repeater will work with the MiFi 4510. Something called a Pepwave Surf should work and simplify your enviornment, skipping the Cascade configuration steps completly. That being said, there is an easier way if you are willing to purchase another device.

#CONFIGURE VERIZON MIFI 4510L HOW TO#
Here is a link I like to share about how to cascade routers: In addition you would need to manually switch from one SSID to another as you roam around your house as the routers will not do it for you. You will need to setup your routers to broadcast SSID's like "Home-Upstairs" and "Home-Basement". Also, cascading wireless routers will not share the same SSID. Wireless routers do not talk to each other unless they have a cable inbetween them. Turning a router into an Access Point has the same restriction, they both need a Ethernet cable. The problem with cascading routers is that you need a Ethernet cable connection to do it (which the MiFi does not have). When one router cascades into another you leverage the same LAN over multiple devices, often giving you more physcial space/coverage for a multi level home. You dont need to be CCNA but you do need to configure your routers to not step on each others toes. What you are asking about is called "Cascading".
