So you can connect tether up to 5 computers via WIFI to your iphone, they will network with each other but SUPER SLOW!! Like unusable. I guess the iPhone 5 isn't a very good router. So...
I needed a solution for a trade show booth that would be set up at street fairs. 3 computers needed to network with each other and all have access to the internet. We didn't want to connect to some random wifi, instead we wanted to connect via our iphone 5 with tethering.
Verizon now offers a cool 4 port LTE router that would have worked great however we would have been limited with that solution to using the LTE exclusively.
We wanted the option to connect to a hotel or convention center wifi to avoid data usage on the phone plan with the same setup. We also saw the Zoom 4504 solution which would have done the trick too but it said it required login info to connect to iphone usb modem from Verizon and we thought maybe Verizon wouldn't like that since they have their own solution now.
So how?
Netgear Universal WiFi adaptor (WNCE2001)
Connected to a normal router's WAN port.
Simple as that!
Login to Netgear universal adaptor, link up to iphone wifi, plug Netgear into router and you got what you came for!
We even tested a switch connected to the Netgear Universal Adaptor and that got all the computer online but not networking with each other.
So yes, you can share tether your iphone or android to more than one computer.
