I'm looking for an external modem that supports 5G, primarily for use as a backup to our very unreliable and slow WISP. I was using, until it failed, a Netgear LTE LB1120, with Ting. If 5G proves suitable, I may switch to T-Mobile or Calyx for primary service and drop our WISP entirely.

No, not any router. But many do support usb tethering out of the box, Peplink is good at supporting it. Goldenorb firmware can support usb tethering depending on the build of firmware per the device.

Short answer, its possible, theres just too many variables to universally say yes.
