- A: AnswerProbably not in the way you are expecting. It CAN be used to get the printer connected to WiFi, but there's a lot of other configuration necessary to use the printer afterward. What you want is something like a TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR902AC) for example, which is suited to your purpose when configured correctly.

Fair for the price
It works good for the price, it works better in short distances, if your home has multiple rooms it would be complicated to get an strong signal in some rooms not too close of it. It is easy to set it up.

Get What You Pay For
This was easy to set up and I was happy with it until my internet provider bumped up my download speed to 300 mbps at no extra cost, and I found out this router, despite Linksys claims of being capable of over 500 mbps, maxxed out under 100 mbps. I found out by connecting my modem directly to my computer, taking the router out of the link. Actually, my WiFi was streaming at under 50 mbps, which is pretty standard to get half your speed over WiFi. But just running the signal through the router via Ethernet cables also choked the signal down under 100 mbps to my desktop. So, this does the job for an inexpensive router, but don't expect blazing speeds.
