Hello,

1. If I want to buy a tablet that only has the wifi feature (e.g. Samsung S6 Lite Wifi version) and no sim card slot tray, how to use my data sim card to provide wifi/internet to the tablet?

2. Is there some device that I can put my data sim inside then the device will give out wifi signals, so that my tablet can connect to the wifi signal to connect to the internet?

3. Is there some device that I can put my data sim inside then I can connect a cable from the device to the tablet usb port, so that my tablet can connect to the internet?

4. Does this type of device work https://www.amazon.com/300Mbps-Hotspot-Devices-Portable-Business/dp/B0D5R2B6DW/ref=sr_1_14

5. Does this type of device work https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-LTE-Broadband-Modem-LM1200/dp/B08R813HLW/ref=sr_1_8

Thanks

1. If you don't want to access internet via WiFi and use your wireless minutes you would have to use your phone as a hotspot. Some carriers have restrictions for hotspot, and some charge extra to allow your phone to be a hotspot. Who's your carrier?

2. Now in this question it sounds like you don't have regular phone with cellular service. Do you have a smart phone with cellular service or do you just have a SIM card? Is the SIM on a plan that is up to date and active? The short answer to this question is any reasonably current smart phone that offers hotspot or tethering. I don't know how it works but carriers like Verizon and AT&T offer home internet service. Not sure how you connect but my guess is there is device that would accept a SIM card, so if you don't use them you might be able to find the device for sale, for use with other carrier SIMs, but that is just a guess.

3. If the table accepts WiFi there would be no reason to tether via a cable. Some devices accept wire tethered connections and some do not. That comes down to the tablet.

4+5. I don't watch every video I recommend but this one looks like it will answer some of your questions about an LTE router.
