Model: Archer C7

Hardware Version: V5

Hello,

I'm looking for a temporary solution to an unstable internet infrastructure. Is it possible to connect a cellular phone with USB tethering activated to the router's USB socket? Will the devices on my LAN be able to access the internet?

TIA

No, the USB port of the Archer C7 is only used for media and or file sharing. It cannot be used for other items like USB 4G backup.
