Connect my mobile hotspot to Orbi
Can I connect my mobile via its hotspot to my Orbi, currently have no broadband at home and would like to use my mobile data
Alas, the Orbi must be connected using an ethernet cable. Mobile phones typically create a WiFi "Hot Spot" themselves.
What can be done is purchase a "LTE Modem" that uses a SIM card to connect to a carrier LTE signal and has an ethernet jack to connect a WiFi system to it. Many of these already include WiFi (which should be turned off when an Orbi is attached).
