Just playing around with the idea that I’d use an old phone as a 5g modem that I’d then attach to a regular router. Is this possible, smart/dumb?

    There are some USB-C -> Ethernet adapters with a USB charging port.

    If you have one of these, you can use Ethernet tethering to share the phone’s Internet connection, but you might need to disable the DHCP server either in the router or the phone (or you could just use a switch instead of a router).
