    Not via wifi.

    What att hotspot do you have? some hot spots have a dock that give you access to an ethernet port.  You could look for accessories for your hotspot to see if this is an option. This would allow you to hook up the orbi but the orbi would need to be in ap mode. the hot spot will also usually limit you to a set number of devices.
