Huawei E5331 (MiFi) as a bridge?

[RangerCoaster]

Currently I have a TPlink bridging devices upstairs that would otherwise have a crumby signal to the downstairs Sky Router.

Today I got a new toy, a very nifty Huawei E5331, and was wondering if it could also bridge connections so connected devices WOULDN'T be using mobile data? Eg [Devices] > [Huawei E5331] > [Sky Router] > {Internet}

It doesn't appear to be capable but maybe there's a wizard out there who knows better!


Thanks for reading!

I'm pretty sure you want a WAP not a WiFi but I could be wrong.

WAP? I think you misunderstand. I want to use my E5331 as a bridge if possible, leading to a standard router that then goes to the internet.

I want it to do what my TPlink is currently doing. I don't want it to use it's own sim card/mobile data, I just want it to be a bridge for my regular ISP.

If you connect your new unit to your Sky box do you have an option to bridge them?
