Wireless to wireless device
We are living in an RV park that supplies wireless internet. That works fine for my computer and tablet. I have a printer that is also wireless that I am not able to get working. Is there a device I can buy that will use the RV park wireless internet as it's source that I can set up to encrypt wireless to my PC, tablet and wireless printer? I would like it to work like my home network did but it used a cable modem and an Ethernet cable to my router/access point.

You might want to check out the thread below on setting up a wireless network for
$100 or less. I just did and it works great. Used my own router that I already had instead of the gateway

Is your printer blutooth capable? If so then skip the router business. Does it have an ethernet port or a USB port? Then purchase a dongle to use on the printer. Otherwise a TPLink router can be had for <$20.

I use a Netgear PR2000. It's $37 on Amazon.
The PR2000 creates a secure Wi-Fi hotspot for all your devices. Our two laptops, TV, Kindle, Dish receiver, and printer all connect to the PR2000. You connect the PR2000 to whatever Wi-Fi network is available.

Don_T there are a bunch of ways to do it. Look in this forum over the last month and you will see them. The one he quoted you is one of the best but there are other options. I know that wireless ranger is good. It is pricy but it has some options that no one else has. It allows you to blend the park wifi with a cell phone wifi. I personally use a system like the video you have already been directed to. I use a different brand of equipment but the same idea. Look for some of my posts on this subject and you can see how I did mine.
The other thing is how long are you at one park. We are at a park now and will be for several months. The park has cable TV. I went to the cable provider which is cox and got a non subscription cable internet plan. I just hooked up to the park cable and hooked up the cable modem with wireless router to that.

Thanks everyone. I have ordered the Netgear PR2000 from Amazon. It looks as though it will do everything I need.
