Connecting a hotspot to a netgear router

Dr. Dakada

I'm trying to see if it's possible to set up a sprint r850 hotspot to a Netgear nighthawk 6900, or if there is another router that would work.

I've used bridges for such things. usually involves an AP in addition to the router. I've got one setup right now on a nanostation. worked pretty well. I use the AP as a gateway and set the hotspot as the host.

What is the reason behind wanting to use a $150 router with a $30 hotspot? Are you trying to set up an internet connection where a standard ISP is unavailable?

I'm using this at my school as a concessions network for our receipt printer to connect to our 4 tablets. the hotspot is so we can accept cards. We can't run thru our isp because they block the square app, and we need it to be portable so we can have it at all of our fields.
