Also the computer can be linked up with the smartphone.
netoperator you need to provide more details for your plan. Of course, Netgear, your mobile operator, or any other router maker will be happy to offer some addiitonal hardware solutons.
Netgear's offerings are here:
4G/5G WiFi Routers Equally good for home, SOHO and a smaller SMB out there in the no-wired-Internet areas.
4G/LTE Modems Of course not a modem as no analogue modulation and demodulation, technically a bridge. The modem term is misleading anaway, it can serve (and does out of the box) as a NAT router for wired Ethernet. It can be used as a router in combination with a switch and a wireless access point, or in bridge mode to connect your WiFi router or Mesh system of choice.
