Connect R7000 to Mobile Hotspot

I'm trying to research to find the best way to connect my R7000 to a LTE mobile hotspot. I want to keep all the clients (wireless and wired) connecting to the R7000. Can I use a wireless extender such as Netgears WN3000RP and connect it to the LTE hotspot and then plug it in the the R7000 internet port. Will this allow the client to route out to the internet? Is there a better way to do this?

  • Since I never recieved an answer that answerd the question, I ended up purchasing a TP-LINK TL-WR802N and it worked exactly like I wanted. Works great and no issue with speed reduction.

    Hi silverbullet07,

     

    It may or may not work. This is not a recommended setup cause connection might suffer.
