Problem: I would like to configure my A6 AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Router to connect to the phone’s hotspot and I think the proxy setting is causing an issue that I don’t know how to resolve.

Router: Hardware Version: V6 Firmware Version: V2 - 210226

Background: I’m temporally in a rural area where only dial-up access is available. So, I’m using an app on my smartphone called NetShare which works by connecting my computer to the smartphone but it requires me to set a proxy in Windows 10 to 192.168.49.1 on port 8282, but MS Outlook will not connect to a server and I would like to share the connection with others. My current download speed is 138 MBPS when connected to the mobile network with the app on 4G.

I was able to get the router to work on the mobile-phone provider’s hotspot but they throttle it. I think the proxy settings are the main differences between the app and provider's hotspot.

Data from ipconf while connect to the smartphone app:

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.49.251(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.49.1
   DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.49.1
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.49.1

Data from netstat while connect to the smartphone app:

  TCP    192.168.49.251:55282   192.168.49.1:8282      ESTABLISHED
  TCP    192.168.49.251:55341   192.168.49.1:8282      TIME_WAIT

Attempted Router Settings:

- Advanced / Network / Lan/ IP Address
              192.168.49.1
- System tools / System Parameters
              Select Enable 5GHZ
              Select Survey
              Select the correct wireless network and enter the password
- Status / Wireless / 5GHZ
              Make sure it shows "Run"
- Network / DHCP Server
              Select Disable (I was not sure about this but I think the app will allow multiple users so it must give ip’s)
- Wireless / Wireless Settings
              Select Smart Connect at the top
             - Network Name (SSID): <Enter a name>
                     Password: <enter a password>
Network / IPTV/VLAN (Enable the ports on the back of the router)
              Enable IPTV/VLAN
              Mode: Bridge
              Lan 1 to 4: Select Internet.

I also attempted to connect the computer to the phone's hotspot and then share the computer's connection with the router but I also could not get that to work.

How can I share the phone’s Internet connection with the router?

Thanks!
