    You can set an LTE 4g router up and configure orbi in AP mode.

     

    I use an asus router connected to my Orbi with the Orbi performing only the WIFI part.

     

    Don't believe you can plug a 4g dongle in, but could be wrong.

        No you can not plug a USB modem directly into orbi it would have connect via ethernet somehow.
