cell phone signal
can i configure an orbi to work from my cell phone signal
To jump to the bottom line - It works!
The M1 'sees' my phone signal (google fi) and I can connect a device direct to it.
The setup was a bit less than straightforward but it does work. (Following directions, you never really see exactly what the directions say but it gets done.)
The range is pretty short. So - would it be possible to connect the M1 to say a nighthawk R7000 for more range. I had originally thought the 7000 would be needed but the M1 does work well right out of the box for me.
Thanks again to all for the kind help.

Cannot thank everyone enough for their time and expertise. This really has been one of those things. (I am from the oilfield - every job requires a hammer.)
