OpenWRT - USB Tethering

In this tutorial video, we are going to configure smartphone USB tethering to OpenWRT router (via Luci). This will enable you to share the internet connection (3G/4G/LTE) of your phone to the router. OpenWRT USB tethering supports both Android and iOS. It's more convenient and has better performance (lower latency) than turning your smartphone into an access point and using that.

Commands for packages installation:

###############################
WARNING: connecting your whole network to the Internet using the Smartphone might consume your monthly GB quota very fast, as other devices in the network will download updates (ahem… Windows 10) or use the network whenever they feel like without asking your permission. This is also the case for other human users.
