What are the steps/instructions to USB Tethering Cellphone with PdaDet to Nighthawk?
I have tried searching the Community and Google. I would like to USB tether my phone with PdaNet to router.
What are the settings/instructions to set up router? I can tether phone to PC via USB and it works great! I do have Windows 10 with mobile hotspot but having issues on getting that to work when I am connected via USB tethering to PC.
Any help would be gladly appreciated as I know one and/or both above scenarios will work but not quite sure on the settings.
Thank you very much for the replies! I really appreciate it as this saved me hours of chasing something that is not there! :)
Great Community Support!

I know of no way to use your cell phone as the internet connection for a Nighthawk router.
Thank you for your quick response! I read forums on where Asus routers could be used in the same scenerio as above.
Hi Dunes,
I will confirm what StephenB answered. NETGEAR routers will not work with USB Tethering connections. The USB ports are used for external drives and usb printers.
