Is this for the sake of experiment or is there an actual need for that?
Thank you once again for your help.
I thought that I have professional router.
But I cannot really make it as repeater.
It’s the last attempt, or buying a new one.
Well, there are few points to consider:
if you are going to buy a different router (or a dongle), consult https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_864 and also search the forum to make sure that the device you are considering doesn't have know issues. Also you could post on the forum asking people for their experience about the device you are considering.
It should work with Linux PC, but I'm not sure about Windows.
If PC doesn't provide DHCP, then you should configure WAN statically.
Also some ISPs may require TTL tuning, everything else should be normal.
Sharing internet connection on Windows work. I haven't tried it with a router though. But it's not the best way to solve the problem.
It seems to me that what you want to do is use the cellular network anchor in the router. The problem is that this model does not have a USB port. If you are buying a new router, go directly to one compatible with 4g SIM cards.
Thank you. But I want to try. If you know how to do it, please, help with it.
It's more straightforward to get internet for the router form iPhone directly. Using the PC as intermediate is unnecessary.
If you insist on doing it, I would suggest that you start by testing the shared connection from PC using another PC for example. Once you have confirmed that the shared connection s working, you can connect the router to the WAN port as DHCP client. You could also try connecting it to the LAN and turn DHCP off, but I'm not sure that would work.
