Connect another either net cable to cellspot device
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.
- I thought This would be in addition to my Internet service. We are in the middle of four cell towers so we have terrible Internet service because of that. So they sent me this gadget. You could tell I am a novice right LOL
- I have a separate modem from spectrum TV, I have my own nighthawk or 7000. And order to get cable service which we have to have because we living in the development pays it for us I had to use these two items. However my telephone service what’s your mobile it’s bad in my home. If I disconnect spectrum TV service from my router I won’t be getting all the TV channels my development provides. I don’t wanna cut the cord completely because I’m paying for that service through the development. So now I’m in a dilemma
- So I don’t need a modem if I Connect the cell spot? Only drawback is my land line phone is withe the modem.
- And we get free 100mgb internet service. I have 21 smart devices using my nighthawk including two cell phones. If I turn off the ones not needed all the time will it help my cell phone reception?
