Connect another either net cable to cellspot device
Should clarify I just changed mobile serves and needed to get better service in my home T-Mobile sent me a personal Hotspot device -4LTG Cellspot. I’m supposed to connect their rithernet cable to my Nighthawk R7000 router but the only rithernet connect in the router is connect to my Sorctrum Modem. So need suggestions as to connect hotspot to router. Thanks
You will only be able to connect one cable to the router for internet service.
Not real sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish so if you could be a little more specific with exactly what you are needing maybe it will help determine what needs to be done.
- Instructions say to connect the yellow ethernet cable from low WAN yellow port on your 4G LTE cell spot to an available ethernet port on your Wi-Fi router a Wi-Fi cable modem router and then position the antenna as best as possible don’t know how I’m supposed to do that if there’s only one ethernet input on my router. Unless I can use my modem port?
Your modem port would be taken up by the cable already going to your router. Sounds like what they are telling you is how to get internet service using the Cell Spot. That would remove your current service from the equation.
- T-Mobile has already provided me with a ethernet cable I could put it in to the cell hotspot but I don’t know where to put it in to nighthawk if there is no other eithernet port. Is their a adapter or something that would give me an extra eithernet port?
