Tether an Android phone via USB port AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender

I can tether my LG Stylo 3 to my computer with no problem.  Can an Android phone be tethered to the USB port on a AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender?  If so where can I find detailed instructions?

    No, the USB port on the extender is designed to be used for the ReadySHARE storage feature. This link may provide an answer. You may be better off looking into mobile hotspot routers being offered by your carrier if that is an option for you.
