• Re: [IBCP] How to tie two laptops and a printer together, + Verizon Am.Choice cellphone

    Depending on the router, you may be able to flash it with DD-WRT. That
    allows you to use the router as a repeater for the park's internet. If you
    then hard-wire the printer to the router, all computers could connect to
    the router and have access to both the printer and the internet. Getting
    this all to work can be quite a pain at first, but I've been using that
    method for some time (and am doing it now).

    I don't know of a way to use your cell phone as part of that process, but
    that doesn't mean there isn't one.
