Re: Connect my mobile hotspot to Orbi
Alas, the Orbi must be connected using an ethernet cable. Mobile phones typically create a WiFi "Hot Spot" themselves.
What can be done is purchase a "LTE Modem" that uses a SIM card to connect to a carrier LTE signal and has an ethernet jack to connect a WiFi system to it. Many of these already include WiFi (which should be turned off when an Orbi is attached).
