Getting internet to a LAN by a phone

[hirushaadi]

this is what i have been thinking to setup..

 

if I want to get this setup to connect to internet using a phone, how to do it? (mobile hotspot) - what else do i need? - how to do it?

Connect the routers wan port to the hot spot on the phone. Some routers have this built in, otherwise you need a device that turns the hotspot into a ethernet signal.

If the router and phone support RNDIS then possibly, but the problem with using a phone for this is Internet sharing is not designed to be kept turned on.  It might discharge the battery if the router cannot provide enough power to the phone, also Internet sharing can periodically turn off.

Your phone contract may also not allow tethering, in which case doing so could result in your contract being cancelled or maybe a fee.

Dedicated 4/5G routers also tend to have better reception than phones, due to being able to use much larger antennas.

what if i activate a package (there is a 30day unlimited 20Mbps for cheap), remove the sim from the phone and then connect it to the router using a cellular modem

Same issue, it depends if the router supports a cellular modem either in RNDIS or serial mode.

If you have an old pc you can go from rndis (most androids support) to Ethernet to the routers wan. may not be ideal, but will work
