Hi! So, I have a portable usb dongle, which I insert a 3g sim into and it broadcasts wifi signals like a modem which I connect my laptop & phone into.
But my issue arrives here, it allows only 5 devices (and therefore a modem will allow me to connect more if I somehow repeat the signals) and that isn't enough for me at times & at some parts, it doesn't cover all of my house. So here's my thing, I have a spare modem router lying around from when I used to have a broadband connection, and I wanted to know if I can somehow make the Modem repeat the wifi signals broadcasted by the usb dongle.
The thing is, I did something like this before when I actually had a broadband connection....I used two modems, basically one router being a primary and other reconnecting and repeating wifi. I used a ethernet cable to connect the two modems together to make the second router work as a repeater. But here where I have a USB Dongle as the primary source and it cannot connect ethernet cables so I am not sure how will my modem which I will use as secondary will connect to the dongle/the internet. If the modem has a way to receive the USB Dongle's WiFi Signals and re-transmit it, that'll be good.
