Okay I need to update this thread because I finally found a solution to my problem. Recently I bought a Xiaomi router 3 and then I also subscribed to Tangerine 4G, so I got a MiFi.
The challenge has always been extending my MiFi's WiFi's signal using a WiFi router. Turns out you simply run the WiFi router in bridge mode which is what I've done with my Xiaomi router. The bridge mode supports connecting the Xiaomi router to another wireless wifi router via the WAN port using ethernet cable or wirelessly via WiFi. Since the MiFi doesn't have any LAN ports, I obviously opted for the wireless method and that's how my problem has been solved :) On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Brian Nkurunungi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > > From your Huawei B865 3G , if you can search for your devices and be able > to find the Vodafone unit, you can bridge the devices hence uniting ur > network. > > Huawei e5151 comes handy with an ethernet port and this would have been a > walkover for you . > > Rgds , > > Brian N > > On 4 Jan 2017 12:07 p.m., "David Okwii" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I've been toying with this idea for a while but don't know how or whether > it would work. > > So I've a Vodafone Mifi and Huawei B865 3G wireless router.
