asking for some help with turning LTE into home internet with netgear lb1120

Greetings everyone! stumbled onto this forum today and looks like just the place i'm looking for!
So iv'e been using my phone's hotspot for internet for the pas couple years and although its worked better than anything else iv'e had, i don't want to destroy my phone's (and future phones) battery any more than i have to. i would also like all the advantages of actual home internet. iv'e been to reddit, xda developers, youtube and here to a lesser extent seeking all of this knowledge and trying to compile it all for me to understand since i'm not too knowledgeable on networking of any kind.
As said in the title i purchased a Netgear lb1120, i plan to pair this with the ATT unlimited tablet plan, if i can still get it that is. then with a netgear nighthawk 7900p (got it for basically nothing is only reason why i have it). i just want to cover my tracks as thoroughly as i can to make it look like i'm not using a modem,router, nor hotspot. so my questions are as follows:
1) since this plan is made for a tablet, is there a way to spoof the IMEI on this modem to match an IMEI of the one i give ATT? or is this even necessary?
2) ive been trying to read a lot about changing the TTL, do i have to do this for only the modem? or the modem and router? or the entire network? this router doesn't seem to be DD-WRT capable and iv'e seen ways of using CMD, but is that way permanent?
3) is disguising the modem and router as a tablet via TTL enough or do i need a VPN to aid me as well?
4)i saw in another topic someone wrote that using a GLI MT300N TTL patch could be useful, would it be in my case? if so, is there a guide for this somewhere?
5) would i need any specific settings, or APN settings for this model modem for optimal performance?
6) i used cellmapper and found the tower nearest me uses 12, and 17 what does this mean for me?
i'm pretty sure t hat was everything i was curious about. iv'e been trying to read up on all this for the past week or so and my vision impairment doesn't make it much easier on me either
to anyone that can shed even the smallest bit of help will be greatly appreciated! and thank you to everyone here in advance!
