Can you link up two routers, one 4G and one Normal Router?

Hi guys,
Have a ZTE 286C and a Mweb MR710. Currently using the 4G, fixed LTE with Mweb.
Is there a way to link these two up together to increase range in my house?

Thanks

I don't know what's available in the ZTE configuration wise, but what you can try one of two things:
1. Disable DHCP on the ZTE and connect it to the Mweb box with LAN cable from a LAN port of the ZTE to the LAN port of the MWEB box. Disable internet on the ZTE and enable WiFi - i.e. have it configured as a plain old WiFi access point.
or
2. Have the ZTE on any IP range, enable DHCP on it, but set it up as a regular LAN router (disable LTE - enable DHCP on the WAN port as the connection method) - connect the WAN port on the ZTE to a LAN port on the MWeb box.

Failing that, post screenshots of the various settings option on the ZTE box and we can start there.
