MR1100 Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router

I just purchased a Netgear LTE Mobile Hotspot to access the internet.  I own an ORBI wifi system.  Can I use the Orbi and Hotspot together (the hotspot doesn't cover my whole house but the Orbi does.)  Thanks

    You can.

     

    What I'd probably do is get a 2.4A charger (this is needed for running with battery removed) for the Hotspot, remove the battery and connect the Hotspot via ethernet to the Orbi. In fact I just got a 2.4A charger today myself.

     

    You may want to avoid double NAT e.g. by putting the Orbi into AP (Access Point) mode.
