Cannot use phone hotspot, only 5gb via hotspot whereas I have unlimited mobile/wired tethering.
I'm looking to share my internet connection to my router for wifi through my computer from my phone, I had this working before, restarted computer and now I cannot get it working again ISO help!

Router is not DD-WRT or things would be completely different.

Can't you just plug your phone into your router?

My router doesn't even have a USB port or else I would have installed DD-WRT and gone that route already.

would an adapter work? what ports does your router have?

use a "whatever port you got" to usb adapter. if there is such a thing available

Only ethernet ports available.

Just installed a program called 'Connectify' instead and used my computer as a hotspot pushing signal to my router, it was real simple.
