Hi there,
Can you connect to LB2120 wirelessly to use as wifi or does it have to connected. It’s ok to connect when using laptop but how do you connect mobile devices and tablets to the jnternet if the modem doesn’t support Wifi connections.
Thanks
Model: LB2120|4G LTE Modem

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

Correct, the LBs don't have any WiFi support. As yu are operating the LB in router mode, and as long as you need just one access point, add a small access point with a built-in switch, something like a WAX204 or a WAC124. The computer can be connected to one of the Gigabit LAN ports on these models.
