I'm encountering difficulty routing my Verizon Jetpack through my Orbi.
This previously worked with my Verizon Smarthub. I live in a rural area and am looking for an internet solution that works with my Orbi. Any suggestions?

It would help to know the exact model number of the Verizon JetPack. When I search, the devices that come up are (literally) mobile WiFi Hot Spots. They have no ethernet port.
Like most routers, Orbi must be connected with an ethernet cord from the WAN port to an ethernet jack on the modem (cable modem, fiber ONT, or LTE modem). Orbi cannot connect to anything over WiFi.
I forgot to ask, "What worked previously with the Verizon Smarthub?", the Orbi or the JetPack?
