Connecting the internet to a local network using a phone without a modem
I plan to install a LAN soon and everything seems ready. The router includes a USB port, so I was thinking about connecting my phone directly via USB to get internet. With a speed around 30Mbps, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I don’t have a cellular modem because my main plan only works with my phone, and I sometimes get calls. Installing a new SIM each time is inconvenient. Any suggestions would be great!
Usually you can't connect via USB here. I've handled this before by converting the device into a hotspot, then using a laptop or desktop to create a wired network for the router.
The USB port on the router isn't meant for this connection and won't function properly. Suitable services like SMB and FTP should be used instead. Even if possible, the router's processor wouldn't handle the task effectively. Clarification: your phone in tether mode to LTE differs from using an LTE modem via USB.
is there any special name for it? these are the specs of the router i have been thinking to buy... this says the data rate is 867Mbps, and something i doesn't know about for interface (will i be able to use WAN ports in my LAN) - so wont that be a problem for getting 1gigabit transfer speeds to my storage pc? here is the website for more info... : https://prolink2u.com/product/prc3801/
Yes, the computer must be active for this to function properly.
