So far, so good. The ASUS website provided canned documentation that did not provide accurate info on how to setup the WISP interface. Thanks to Perpelxity I did get the WISP config to work. Note: It looks like only one SSID can be active regadless of which ISP is the host. Tried it at home. Visted a local office with its own open WiFi. Connected there. I setup VPN Fusion and that seemed wo work as well....Next step..the cruise! Wb s

In WISP mode, device could not retain WAN side connectivity. Weirdly, it would display multiple identical SSIDs (one per channel?) for the WAN side
