Is there a way to get around no WiFi or poor WiFi signal

Hi - Just bought a Square terminal and wanted to see if there was a way around poor WiFi or no Wifi signal, perhaps by linking with an iPhone on 4G, or by using a portable WiFi router.  I attend craft fairs and the signal can vary greatly between events.

If you have a decent cellular signal, you can use your iPhone to create a hot spot that you can link the Terminal through.  The procedure for doing this probably varies due to the model you have, but on mine I click on Settings, then Cellular, then Personal Hotspot.  Click that to turn on, and follow any more directions from there.
