That is what I do for PLC's not connected to a network with WiFi.

I carry a small WiFi router, I think is cost me about $20.00, and connect it to the switch in the control panel, or directly to the PLC if the Ethernet isn't used, I called the network HMI808 so it wouldn't conflict with any existing WiFi, and connect my table to it.

Plus this allows me to roam around the line wirelessly as long as I stay within the range of the WiFi.

Can you post a link to this WIFI router? I would like to see it as it could be useful in some of my applications
