Re: Connect D6220 to hotspot

The D6220 is a DSL modem/router. 

And it doesn't have an extender/repeater mode that I'm aware of. 

 

And unless your phone supports connecting an ethernet cable to it in hotspot mode, you won't be able to connect the D6220 to it. 

 

Next time you might get better help for the D6220 in the forum for it:

Not many routers offer that function, often known as WDS. The D6200 seems to be the only "current generation" DSL modem/router that does it. It is more common on older hardware.

 

People who want to use a mobile device as the basis of a network usually go for a mobile router/hotspot.

Some of these will work with a standalone router.
