Connecting a Powerline Adaptor to WiFi Router without ethernet

2020-08-28 08:16:48

Model: TL-WPA4220 KIT

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Can anyone advise whether it's possible to connect a powerline adapter to a router wirelessly i.e. without a direct ethernet connection? I am trying to connect to a mobile wifi hotspot (Huawei E5577C) that doesn't have any ethernet ports (or any other ports). Thx

@kmorg62

Unfortunately, the wireless adapter is not able to do any sort of WDS bridging. It would be best to see if the phone carrier has a list of tested devices able to connect to the Wi-Fi. We do have the TL-WR902AC, but I am not sure if there may be issues since the source is a mobile hotspot.
