I have an internal LAN -- lots of workstations and devices.
I have a TP-Link load balanceing router -- multiple ports going to the Internet. One is DSL, another is satellite. The router has a load balanceing alogrithim that distributes the internal traffic across the available WAN ports to the Internet.
Internet is hard to get where I am but there are cell towers.
I am looking for a device, like a hotspot, that can connect to a the cell service and in turn connect to the router. It would be another access pathway to the Internet.
It would only have one port going to the Internet router and modem connections to the cell signals governed by the plan that the cell folks offer.
