Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can but it's not recommended because of the low bandwidth that comes with having a mobile connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not 100% sure but I believe the usb is to add a hard drive that can then be accessible from all devices connecting to the router. that said, if you are using a android phone why go thru the trouble of even doing that when it should have a future already in it to allow you to use it as a hub?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not entirely sure if the router in question supports RNDIS, which is the technology that Android uses to tether via USB. However, if you put your android in hotspot mode, the router chosen can be put in repeater mode, making the wifi connection much better for the rest of the house.
