</span>Ignorant question: Can something like that be used in bridge mode, as<br>
one might with an ADSL modem? Or is 3G/4G handled differently?<br>
<br>
This device seems to do bridge mode over 3G:<br>

For the OP's requirement, something like that (or the TP-Link) in bridge<br>
mode might be nicer than managing a dongle or built-in 3G/4G. Also<br>
avoids double NATting.<br>
