Samsung Galaxy S8 tethered to WG3526? ATT
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2020 2:07 pm
I am a newbie here and after reading all the posts and yes as others have said information overload!
I am looking to buy a used Samsung S8 and a WG3526 when LTE store opens up next week for the router. Of course I plan to tether the S8 and use the phone as my modem.
I use ATT and have a strong signal at my house, my iphone gets great speeds but I am reading that it is unclear if an iphone can be tethered so did some research and a mid grade phone the speed tests show good performance on the S8 and it has the same chipset as iphone 8 and 4x4 mimo (iphone does not) with the 4 antennas so thinking it will be at least as good if not better
Question: Has anyone used the S8 to tether? If not before I buy the phone is there a way to find out if it is capable of tethering. I checked the menu structure in the manual and there is a function to turn on IUSB tethering so I am thinking yes
Any other opinions/questions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric
