Connect Router to Mobile Hotspot

2024-02-17 03:55:32

Model: Archer AX55

Hardware Version: V6

Firmware Version:

I'm trying to find a list of WiFi Routers that will connect to a mobile hotspot. I don't have wired internet, so I want to use my Android phone as a hotspot.

I can't tell if this requires Access Point Mode, or if that's just for connecting multiple routers as extenders. I only want a single device to act as as WiFi LAN, and connect to a mobile hotspot. Ideally connect wirelessly to the hotspot, but I could live with a USB connection if I have to.

There are some guides that indicate a "Hotspot Mode" but I can't find any recent models that have this.

What models will support this?

@JiFi

Here's a thread on the same matter.

I think that these routers can be used to connect to your hotspot. (using either WISP mode, RE mode or WDS feature).

You should bare in mind that if your mobile device emitting the hotspot wireless signal on a 5GHz channel 149 (some mobiles do that) this won't work because the routers in the list don't support this wireless channel.

If this was helpful click on the arrow pointing upward to make it blue. If this solves your issue, click the star to make it blue and mark the post as a "Recommended Solution".

Thanks @terziyski

I saw the earlier thread but still wasn't sure what to look for. I tried a couple of TP-Link options but couldn't get it to work. I tried an Asus and it worked straight away, although only with a USB tether. I'll stick with that for now, but appreciate your tips and might try your suggestion later.
