RB750Gr3 + USB WiFi Dongle Adapter

Sun May 15, 2022 4:32 pm

Hi,
I have a 4G LTE modem which offers WiFi hotspot. I plan to put the modem near window, and configure connection between the route and the modem via a wireless link.

Is it possible to add a USB WiFi dongle adapter to the router?

No. There used to be limited support for some usb wifi adapters in old RouterOS, but it was removed.

USB-wifi adapters are not supported since RouterOS v6.

But for not much money you could connect mAP or a mAP Lite to one of the ethernet ports on your router.
You could then:
* disable all the DHCP, firewalls, etc. on a mAP Lite
* connect mAP's wireless interface to your mobile modem's wifi
* bridge WiFi and ethernet on a mAP Lite
