hotspot using nighthawk ac2300 R7000P

I'm currently having a situation with internet outage going on 2 weeks. That means no internet!
So i want to see about using my laptop and router to use my cell phone internet as a hotspot. I have one device connected to the router which requires internet access. This is captioncall phone.
I also have an epson wireless printer connected to the router.
I understand i can do this by reconfiguring the router as a repeater. Looking to use it as backup net incase of outages.
How do i do this?

    You might see if the router has wireless bridge mode, if it does, try connecting the router to the cell phones wifi signal using wireless bridge mode on the router.
