Is there a way to connect Orbi Netgear Orbi RBK753S-100NAS to an iPhone's cellular Internet?
Say my cable Internet goes down. Is it possible to use the wifi router to the iPhone's cellular? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
No. Sorry. All Netgear routers require an Ethernet cable connection to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) network.
There is a (slim) chance that you could do this:
- Purchase an Ethernet to USB adapter compatible with your model of iPhone (different iPhones have different USB types).
- When the iPhone is connected to the cellular network, move the Orbi Ethernet cable from the ISP device to the iPhone adapter.
- "See what happens"
Obvious concerns are the amount of traffic the iPhone data connection will support (both speed and volume of data).
Thanks. This is with my old iPhone 12 mini's iOS v18.7.2. It uses lightning port. I wonder if anyone has done it before.
