Hi, I am trying to bridge a connection between my phones mobile hotspot and my router, so that then I am able to connect my PC and Xbox to the routers connection. Currently I have my PC connected to my phones mobile hotspot with no problems. My phones WiFi hotspot is fast and reliable, so that isn't the issue. When connected to 4G LTE it gets upwards of 10mb/s down usually with no hiccups. The router is a Belkin G+MIMO Wireless Router - Model: F5D9231-4 v1. The reason for bridging the connections is so that I am able to port forward the needed ports for my Xbox's NAT settings. (They are currently strict) A lot of people have said it isn't possible to change the NAT type on a phones mobile hotspot, so this is Plan B. The setup I am hoping for is WiFi Hotspot>Router>PC/Xbox. So I am basically trying to use my phone as a modem. I am unfamiliar with a lot of this so if you need more info pls ask.

I think you're missing a fundamental concept of networking here. Your phone's hotspot is NAT'd. Basically, your phone is acting as a router running DHCP, giving out NAT'd IP's. You can't just put another router behind that and fix your issue. If anything, you'd just be making your situation worse by double NAT'ing. Sorry, networks just don't work like that.
