The R6900 doesn't have the option to take wan input from a usb teether.
You could always check to see if that hotspot could use a usb---ethernet adapter.
I've actually seen someone use a powered hub so it powered the hot spot and connect the usb--ethernet adapter to that.
then connect the router to that. You'd want the r6900 in ap mode though.
Can't 100% say it'd work because I don't have that hotspot to test and I doubt the documentation would go over that scenario.
