Orbi as wireless bridge for Mifi/Hotspot

I currently use a TP-Link N450 Access Point as a wireless bridge.  It wirelessly connects to a mifi/hotspot for internet connection and creates a network based on this connection.  The hotpost is a Verizon Wireless Jetpack 6620L.  The TP-Link N450 is a little buggy and I would prefer to eliminate it alltogether.  

 

Can the Orbi Router wireless connect to the hotspot in the same way .. similar to a wireless bridge?

    Hello moderno

     

    No Orbi can not bridge over wireless if you were able to get a Ethernet connection from the aircard to the orbi that would work.
