First connect your phone to 3G / 4G / 5G, then share your phone's connection by making a WiFi Hotspot.

Configure your WiFi Extender to connect to your phone, and then connect an ethernet cable between the WiFi Extender and the LAN port of the POE Adaptor.

Activate IP masquerading on your laptop:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o <phone-network-interface> -j MASQUERADE
