Orbi and Nighthawk MR1100
In the mountain area that I have recently moved to, I can NOT receive internet service through a cable or internet provider. I have to increase our data plan with AT&T mobile service and use basically a “hotspot” for service in the house for PCs and smart TVs etc.
The device that I use is Netgear Nighthawk® LTE Mobile Hotspot Router. It does have an ethernet port on the device. I do have a Wi-Fi network, however there is no Wi-Fi router, the network is created through the Nighthawk device.
I have read a lot about “Mesh Networks” and the devices that are used to extend the service. I have a 3 story house and have “dead spots” throughout the house.
Is the ORBI device, that your company offers, compatible with the Nighthawk mentioned above?
Thanks,

It's possible you can try it. IF it has a LAN port on the mobile modem/router, and if you can disable the wifi SSID on that modem, I would set up the Orbi AP mode and use the modem as your main host router.
