In a somewhat limited way, this isn't a bad idea. Say someone has their smartphone with Hotspot data but they lose their regular internet service. Some people may have a need to access the web but can't afford a full fledged internet connection thru a phone or cable company, something like this could be used in a pinch. I have a 20gig Hotspot on my android I don't use much but this would be a fun thing to try. Financially, if someone was counting every dime, better some interwebs than none!
Useless
Can a router do this without the bridge? I see router settings has options for different modes… ap mode/bridge mode/repeater mode

Hello sorry did not cach you did just rename the ssid with hotspot ssid name
I need to put my hotspot in AP mode and hook it to my router Ethernet input. Help!
I am a high level network engineer and as soon as this man spoke about his western digital NAS device, I immediately subscribed. He’s very intelligent and helpful. I like this guy a lot!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. May God bless you, my sir.
He made us watch the entire countdown just to do a wipe and cut to a new scene anyways. Epic troll! 😂😂😂
😄
Why are you still using AT&T it is so slow use T-Mobile
Despite working with some different equipment, your video was exceedingly helpful in using that equipment nevertheless. Thank you very much for this as it's actually going to be benefiting my business.
were you on a desktop computer?? was that computer connected through Ethernet??
Only 10g? That's a minor patch on wz nowadays- usless
It would be better to tether to a good router and ditch the bridge idea.
To bad it dont work like this anymore. I use to always have hotspot and now since 5g came out I never have it and if I do it says there's no internet although its connected. And for the "unlimited" phone plan service stops for hotspot after you reach 35gb of phone data
A whole ten G B?
The GL.iNet mango router has the bridge built in.
Why wouldn't you just tether to USB and connect the phone to the USB on the router?
For one, the router is normally in the basement and not readily accessible
this video begins at 02:15
I wonder if there an all in one router/switch on the market these days?
Cool. Thx for sharing!
I've far less confusing title "How switch from Line internet to cellular internet?"
Please inform everyone that some of the model numbers are ancient internet device that's not compatible with WPA2-psk systems, your video cost me a lot of time and a small amount of money I ordered one of these it said new in the package but it does not support anything other than WEP and WPA, UA-cam videos are hit and miss at best
Thanks. Now that work from home is the trending, sometimes there is outsge with ISP. We need a back up plan not to missed our work if this happens.
Thank you
is there a way to do this using a usb-C to ethernet adapter instead, eliminating the bridge ??
Beautiful work brother. Thanks a million
I tired following all these steps, but afterwards my Linksys router did not show up on any of my devices. I checked the hotspot setting on and it said the Linksys router was successfully connected to my hotspot. Any ideas?
You did a fair job of explaining how to connect the components, except you stepped across the computer part. Obviously the router has to be connected to a computer to finish the set-up process. You neglected to explain how to connect the router to a computer.. or does the computer have to be on the internet at the time. I appreciate your time and effort here, but for tech challenged people like me, you can't skip any of it.
For me it was clear what was going on, but I can definitely see where you could be confused. I am glad he kept it abbreviated. I will spell it out here. 1. Get wireless bridge. (think of this as adding an ethernet port to wifi enabled device like phone) 2. Connect phone to bridge. 3. Connect bridge to router as if it were a network device(not internet port for isp/modem device)(this allows you to access admin page) 4.Then go to admin page and change settings he listed. 5. Then plug in bridge to internet port(where modem plugs in) 6. Restart router. A computer is not needed in any step. All of those pages are accessed through phone. It connects like this phoneBrowser -> wirless bridge -> LAN ethernet port -> wifi settings page Note 1: I don't understand the need for changing the wifi security settings. I guess it is just to make connecting easier because it is same as hotspot(maybe devices will automatically connect if previously connected to hotspot) Note 1.5: You could turn wifi completely off and use router as ethernet switch. In that case the settings won't even be used, but you should still have internet. So, I see no reason for needing to change wifi security settings, but I haven't test. Note 2: Likely the DHCP setting needs to be enabled(like he showed). I don't know enough about the protocol hotspot devices with routers use to assign ip addresses. I will study this protocol in next few days and report back. The gateway ip address on hotspot will change all the time, so static setup will likely not work or be major hassle.
This was very helpful. I needed to provide an internet connection inside my car. On board i have a desktop computer with a wireless router that has static ips assigned to a few connections. I needed a way to use my hotspot as a modem through an ethernet connection. This worked perfect!
Could not get Internet Connectivity. Hotspot showed bridge connected on the wireless side and was able to connect to the eithernet side of the briadge. When I moved cable to router internet port that is when everything went to s^%&^&t.
can i use frontier router after i cancel them, i dont kmow
why do i need a router or anything but the phone streaming to the device ipad TV etc
whats the black cord to
For those who dont know much about computers elimate the extra cords and explain what and were each cord comes and goes to
This is great. 👍 I have a dual WAN router. Will be using the setup you showed as a WAN failover with a wireless bridge connected to a MIFi device.
Great idea buddy!
No routers will allow USB tethering to a 5G Android phone. First problem is USB2 on most routers so not good enough to connect a 5G phone, you would need a router with USB3 to keep the phone fully charged.
there are usb to ethernet adapters for cellphones. i haven't tried them yet though
Did you mention how you shared your phone's data to the router? Maybe a wireless-G device is what I need. Would Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Wireless Router work as well?
Your way was the easiest & best I've seen. I have unlimited internet however I can now travel using my Phone Internet with my Laptop. I went on eBay & bought the exact same Wireless-G for 29 dollars & BAM!! worked :) Thanks so much!!
I know it's old, but this is actually very nice with a 5G smartphone with free data plan as 5G modems are expensive...for now :-)
Better if you could connect a 5G phone via USB tethering to a router, but none exist that support it. Asus do have some but they only support 3G/4G usb tethering.
@@blindlygoing WiFi is still faster than 5G, so it will be sufficient. But if you want USB, you can do that with Pfsense on a Pi4 or just a Debian server and "bridge" the tethering with the ethernet and then further to WAN on your router.
Hi, Kenneth. Quick question. Currently with home broadband and standard router from EE(I’m in the Uk). Line is old my best are 9Mbps Down and 1.something UP. I also have an unlimited 5G contract with an iPhone 12 Pro Max and allowed to use it as a hotspot for a maximum of 600GB of shared data. Due to a fall on stairs at work as a male nurse and trimaleolar fracture followed by surgery, I am still home recovering and my ICU is very busy so would like to earn partially from home as an interpreter. They’re not happy with my upload speed and I can’t get better as a home broadband. They do accept only home broadband. But I’m desperate since I’m very low financially and I got 2 dependants on me so want to try to use my 5G as hotspot with another phone ideally ( the whole things is through an app the company provides, the role being work from home phone interpreter).My signal is good where I am, ping and jitter higher than home broadband but speeds are very good. Should I just use the other phone straight connected to the iPhones 5G hotspot or try running it like the gentleman in the video ( I do have another router, Billion 8800NL R2)? I am not planning to use more devices with the hotspot and it’s solely for work. Thank you. P.S it did turned out into a very long comment/question:)) Sorry.
@@japanluv sorry to hear about your injury. As I understand it, you want to use your 5G phone to connect to your Internet instead of your broadband. If the hotspot is sufficient and have the WiFi coverage you need, then it is find with just Hotspot. Use the method in the video if you have devices that are only using cable or the WiFi coverage is insufficient from your phones hotspot. About the bandwidth limit...I can only say, try it out. For reference, my familiy of five uses around 600-800GB streaming music, TV, Chromecast and gaming. Good luck with it and take care ;-)
@@kenneth_jensen Thank you. Have a great weekend:D
I have my iPhone hotspot connected to my router using the exact same bridge (Linksys WET54G) and followed your instructions. It does indeed add an internet connection to my TP-Link 1750 router, however, it seems extremely slow to make a connection to an internet resource. Once it does, the speed seems to be OK. In fact, I will get time out errors before a web page will load. If I connect to my iPhone hotspot via my wireless on my PC, I do not see these same delays. Is there something I'm missing that might be causing the lag in the response time?
Are there other network devices that could be using bandwidth when you going through the router?
So can I use only the bridge to connect my ps4 on internet? Or have I to have the a bridge with a router? Thx
If all you want to do is connect your PS 4, you can just connect it directly to your hot spot. The purpose of the bridge is to connect the entire home network.
Maybe next time you make a video... you make sure the volume is loud enough that someone can actually hear more than 50% of the words you are saying? In addition, SPEAK UP... and don't mutter so softly. How frustrating to try and watch this video... seriously.
Sorry you had trouble hearing it. Are you able to hear other videos ok?
@@PrayerefireDS No... I cannot hear any video I have ever watched on UA-cam lol! I send that message to every video I have ever watched because I have nothing better to do with my time. Could you ask a more stupid question? Try this >>> speaking up clearly.. and make sure audio gain is correct, ya think?
Or just tether your device using a USB.
Thanks..you did not tell us in the end if the desktop computer or the blueray biz is cat 5 connected back to the router..which was wirelessly connected to the phones hotspot....i would suppose it is...plse advise..thanks
My desktop has wired connection, blu-ray is wireless.
You have not internet on you modem?
he may not have internet in the house at all or is just showing you this stuff for you to learn if u do not have a actual live internet comin in.like out in the WOODS !
What?
My phone company is "Visible". Send in an old smart phone and get a new one free - works great (it's a subsidiary of Verizon and works on Verizon towers) - get three other people on the party pay plan with you (separate bills), and you pay $25.00 a month for unlimited everything, and no data lag. This is my internet now. The only hitch is that the phone will only connect to one device at a time, so I'm here to learn how to connect my hotspot to a router. Thanks for this info! forgot to mention: the charger for the visible phone is a smart charger, so even if you leave it on charge all the time, it does no damage to the battery.
Keikaku doori
Thanks for the video, I just bought an old 90s iMac for $5 from a friend as a joke and I wanna see if it works. Also I love the background, the house looks pretty cozy
Oh I didn't think of that. I am considering full cellular network as 1 plan. I was thinking USB connection. You can transfer the 3/4/5g to the wireless GN. How is your experience with using the internet and upstream performance?
