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. :)

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.

Would need a lightning to ethernet adapter. 

Orbi had a older series that supported sim cards, was the LBR series I believe.

    How about connecting to the iPhone's personal hotspot wirelessly?

      Nope, Orbi MESH systems can't be wirelessly bridged.
