Try it then. Some mobile routers do provide an RNDIS interface on their USB port indeed.

In my experience, most cell modems with USB ports do allow you to use them over the USB port instead of (or in addition to) WiFi or Ethernet. They work basically like any other USB network adapter.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

My desktop is currently connected to my older 4G router (HUAWEI E5770) via microUSB. 

I never got any signs/it never occurred to me this might transfer network data along with power.

Can it ?

I have absolutely no idea. Try it! You might have to install a driver to make it work.

That one doesn't suggest it supports it.

are not any indication, that you get internet over USB cable, USB just give power to device

That's not a good source for my question.

In my manual they seem to say there are two ways to communicate, wifi and USB-C.

(You could still be right though, I'll know more when I get it)

@Kilrah@Needfuldoer For information, it works,

I power the device and get data via one USB-C cable.

(it doesn't even need the stated 2A, I don't have them 🙂)
