The only internet available in my area is via Verizon. I'm using the AC791L jetpack and an unlimited data plan. Aside from the data being throttled after about 7-10 days each month, I have two other big problems. The jetpack is my only home network, so when it is turned off I can't even send a page to my printer in the other room, and I can't communicate between my various devices. The other problem is that I can't connect my Arlo home security cameras. They require communicating through a base station, which is supposed to be connected to a router via an ethernet cable. There is no ethernet port on my jetpack.
Is there a wifi router (with ethernet port) that will also connect wirelessly to my jetpack and work with the jetpack when it is turned on, and as a simple home network when the jetpack is not on?
There might options for the Jetpack, but you would have more options if you had purchased a USB modem and plugged it into a compatible WiFi router for creating a separate Wi-Fi network from the modem.

I definitely understand why this is important to you, Ladeda2, and I want to do what I can to help you. You mentioned that when it is turned off, then you can’t send a page to your printer. When the jetpack is on, does wireless printing work?
As for a device that has a Ethernet cable, consider the Verizon Smarthub. Here’s a help guide for it that shows the Ethernet cable slot.
