I live in an area without any high speed-speed internet access. Currently, I am using a cell phone hotspot connected through a wireless to wired-to-wired bridge to my home wired/wireless networks. I would like to increase my bandwidth using multiple cell services/hotspots and have not found the complete answer.
I have a TP-Link ER605 and am able to hook a cellphone directly to the USB WAN port on that device and it works to provide Internet service. I am attempting to connect a second cellphone to an RJ45 WAN port on the ER605 using a USB to Ethernet-to-Ethernet adapter, but have not found any combination that allows the 'USB Tethering' option to be enabled.
I have the following phones:
- TCL 30 XL (androidAndroid 12)
- Moto x4X4 (androidAndroid 9)
Both of these devices work to provide Internet service when directly connected to the ER605 with a standard USB cable.
I have tried two USB to Ethernet Adapters:
- uni USB C to Ethernet adapter (amazonAmazon link)
- Smays USB C OTG Ethernet adapter (amazonAmazon link)
Neither of these adapters enableenables the USB Tethering option, either plugged into aan ER605 port or to a port on a Windows machine.
What are the cellphone/adapter requirements needed to support this configuration?
