Question Using wireless internet as source and providing wired internet connectivity in router

[lesacramento]

Hi all,
Is there a way to use a router with wireless capabilities to do the following:
* Connect to a wireless internet in range
* Provide internet to wired connections through the wireless internet it connects to
* I'd like to be able to assign static IPv4 addresses to the devices that connect to the router via wired connections
Please note, this is different from using a router as a range extender as the source of the internet connection is wireless and the user terminals are wired

Yes, "Travel Router" with "WISP Mode".

How far is the internet source?

You probably have to take the distance and line of sight into consideration.

You might need outdoor long range CPE and pull inside an ethernet cable with a switch.

If you want to connect to a WISP provider, they probably will provide their own CPE equipment or give you a recommended device list.

Travel router with WISP mode can only cover a small house.

Yes,

There's several ways to do it.

For example, I use a mobile hotspot (Warp Zconnect) that attaches to my 5Ghz WiFi Router via USB. My router sees the attached hotspot as a USB modem. So it receives 4G LTE internet from that directly and wirelessly. I then feed that out via my Router both wirelessly as 5Ghz range in my home, and also wired over gigabit ethernet to a few machines in my home.

Whatever wifi signal you're trying to latch onto and feed through the router, as long as it can attach to your router as input from USB or from the WAN ports, you can feed that signal out wirelessly or wired.

Very best,
