run iphone internet through router

[ThePiston]

My office internet is going to be down for a day or 2. Onlything I can do is use my iphone's wifi, but I want to run it through the router so the entire office can use it (sparingly of course).

I would rather not use Internet Sharing on one computer and then have to set all of the computers to run through it.

Is there a way to siphon the cell phone internet onto the router? Maybe make it an AP?

Only way I can see doing this is if you install DD-WRT onto your router and connected that router to your WiFi tether as a wireless bridge. To be honest with you I don't even know if this would work... It would probably be easier for everyone to use the free version of Netzero dial up for those 2 days

What's your data plan like? How many computers are on this network? You don't want to run into a situation where 30 computers decide they need to download 50 mb of Windows updates simultaneously if you've only got 1 GB per month or something.

Is it through AT&T?

AT&T will look for any excuse they can to knock you off of the grandfathered "unlimited" plan.
