Manny systems we build are not connected to the internet and during startup its nice to have access to manuals on the internet.
I typically tether my phone to my laptop with the physical ethernet port on my laptop connected to the control network. I have in the past had a wifi router that tethered to my phone so I can grant devices on the control network access to the network.
In rare cases, it would be nice to connect the HMI panel PC to the internet for installing updates or grant 3rd party tech support access to the panel PC.
Does anyone know of a router with or without wifi that is cell backed? So I don't have to spend my personal cell data or in some cases run the battery down if not plugged into power. or is there a better/simpler solution?
