But it says you can connect it with a USB modem in the back to have internet without a network cable, is that true? Always-on internet with versatile WAN options, effortless AI WAN detection on 2.5G or 10G WAN/LAN ports and convenient 4G LTE & 5G mobile tethering via USB. So with 4G and 5G modem ?

Helpful answer
The router does not support 3G/4G USB modems for Internet connections via USB. It is not possible to connect a 4G or 5G modem via USB. The WAN connection is exclusively via Ethernet (RJ-45) and there is no SIM card slot. Mobile Internet via USB modem is therefore not available.

Although some sources are contradictory (one PDF document lists 3G/4G USB modem compatibility as "Yes"), the official and verified product data from ASUS and retailer sites clearly confirm that there is no support for 3G/4G USB modems.

This means that mobile Internet via 4G or 5G can only be realised via external devices with their own router or modem, not directly via this router via USB.
