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

So far this was a good extension of AImesh using guest network pro. Easy install. Just make sure you are connected to the main router with a wire prior to configuring.
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
I love that this router supports 4G/5G for mobile tethering. It’s compact yet packed with functionality and power to handle multiple devices with ease. This is my first time buying an ASUS product, and it’s clear you understand the needs of today’s working world. Please continue creating mobile tethering products like this—you’ve given us an option where there was none before. You’ve gained a customer for life.
This is advertised as a Travel Router. The setup process requires access to the admin account and the ASUS router software. But it is not possible to perform the setup if your main home network is also an ASUS router, because the home router IP address is the same as the IP address for the travel router, and there appears to be no way to fix this, other than finding some other non-ASUS network to temporarily use. This is unacceptable.

Dear Rxc6422,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing difficulty settings it up successfully. To resolve this configuration issue, you need to setup this travel router offline, login to it and change the IP address manually, outside the range used by your home network IP address. Once this was successfully setup and save, reconnect to your main ASUS router. Also, we recommend updating the Mesh router firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax57-go/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX57-Go.
