Either via USB, or another way?
You will need to provide an Ethernet cable to the WAN port. You could also set up WDS bridging: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1555/
Usually, you would set up WDS bridging to an existing router, not a hotspot so that may not work.
@Tony Thank you - can you recommend a suitable device to provide that connection?
My Android 11 phone has "Ethernet Tethering" with a USB ethernet adapter, but
1/ I don't have an adapter to test right now, and I'd need to find a way to charge at the same time
2/ It would be more convenient to have a dedicated device attached to the WAN port
I would try the WDS setup, which is referenced in my post #2. What that will do is use the 2.4G to connect to your smartphone hotspot, then extend the Wi-Fi connection. Also devices wired should also get a network connection.
If that does not work I would utilize the smartphone and connect devices to that directly. It varies but you should be able to connect several devices to your phone hotspot at once.
