Only if your router allows it. You can also use any router that supports OpenWRT installation.

A USB hotspot lets you connect other devices to your phone via USB, while USB tethering allows you to share internet connection from your phone directly to another device.

Set up a direct USB link between your phone and the router for a wired connection instead of using Wi-Fi.

Then it really comes down to the router type. For today’s smartphones, most need USB Ethernet adapters supported by OpenWRT, though few or none of the standard firmware routers offer this feature.

Looking for ways to set this up on an older router using Cat5e cables. The device appears to be a DLink DIAL 615 from around 2006. Your phones’ firewalls block certain apps like Android tablets and DSI/3DS online unless you turn off the firewall. You mentioned testing it with your LG K8 smartphones on a tethering plan with 5 Gbps, 4G LTE, and unlimited 2G. The goal is to play rare Pokémon in Black version, assuming the servers are working at 164.132.44.106 as the primary DNS.
