Model: TD-W8980  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Buongiorno,

Vorrei sfruttare la sim con dati illimitati per creare una rete ethernet interna.

Attivando sullo smartphone il tethering over usb e collegarlo alla presa usb del router tplink.

Mi sapete dire se potrebbe funzionare?

Eventualmente se non funziona potrei acquistare un adattatore usb-c -> ethernet?

 

Grazie

Giuliano

TD-W8968 USB ports are used only for USB sharing:

USB Sharing Storage Sharing
FTP Server
Media Server
Print Server

 

But you may use TD-W8968 in Wireless Router Mode by changing its Operation Mode.

Thus using usb-c to ethernet adapter it should be possible to connect to TD-W8968's LAN4/WAN port.

If you want to use wireless tethering, you could try to build a WDS. Use this guide for configuring WDS on TD-W8968.

If you can't find WDS feature in wireless settings try here:

Well, if your TD-W8968 is HW v3, then use this guide.

You can use the TD-W8968 v3/v4 user guide for details on wireless bridge as well - Chapter 4.7.5.

Although I am not sure if that will work with your mobile wireless settings, you can give it a go and check that.
