Using a TL-WR702N router as a wireless access point on a narrow-boat.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me work out how to print from my iPad and iPhone to a printer on my narrow-boat, on the UK inland waterways.
The Apple store geniuses seem to contradict each other on how it can be done, if at all.
I have an iPad and iPhone and would like to print photos, documents and the occasional web page to my Canon MG4250 printer, which has Airprint capability, while I am cruising.
I don't have a PC on the boat and of course there is no telephone or broadband connection (other than via 3G on my iPhone).
In other words, I want to link my printer to a router, then when required, wirelessly connect to the router to print from my Apple devices.
Will the TP Link TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router allow me to do this?
Reading the product information, this nano router looks very flexible, but all five modes mentioned seem to utilise an internet connection.
I only have an internet connection via 3G on my iPhone, and can also tether the iPad to the iPhone's wi-fi hotspot to give internet connection on the iPad.
Would I have to use this internet connection somehow, or can I just connect the Apple devices to the printer via the wi-fi on the nano router?
In effect I want to create a wireless access point for printing, without any, or at least a regular, internet connection.
Any advice much appreciated.
