Hello,
My family owns a convenience store. It happens rarely but the internet goes does for several hours and it forces us to turn away customers because we cannot accept credit card transactions.
Today the credit card terminal (the device that accepts card) is connected to internet using ethernet cable.
I can get the register (which is on Windows) back online by connecting it wirelessly to my phone hotspot. However I cannot do that to the credit card terminal because it is connected using an ethernet cable.
I did attempt to buy range extender with ethernet output. I would connect the range extender to my phone hotspot and then plug the ethernet out cable to credit card terminal. However, no luck since the transactions do not go thru for whatever reason still. Link to the extender: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/linksys-ac750-boost-range-extender-white/4580700.p?skuId=4580700
What is the best and cheapest way to get internet connection to the terminal so we can accept credit card transactions when the wired internet goes down? What options do I have other than paying $50 for a back up connection?
Thank you
