Connect LBR20 to camping wifi (or any existing wifi instead of LTE)
Can you connect the LBR20 to an existing wifi signal?
My setup: LBR20 LTE router hooked up to 2 external LTE antennas. These are factory pre-wired antennas that came with my travel trailer (Winegard 360+). Works pretty good with my cel sim card.
Question: one of the antennas on my RV is a wifi antenna, meant to boost the free wifi offered in most camping sites and send it to a router inside the trailer. I want to connect this wifi booster antenna to the LBR20 to sometimes use the existing wifi instead of LTE.
However I do not see any option in the app to connect the LBR20 to an existing wifi signal.

Using a wifi as the WAN requires WISP mode.

There are other routers that support it and some mobile ones. Not sure if the lbr20 is one because I don't have one to play with. My understand of it is it can use hardwired connection or cellular. Not another wireless signal.
Not saying you couldn't pickup up a cheap gl.inet router and use its wisp mode and hardwire that to the lbr20.
