ASUS RT-AC68 USB Modem / USB Tethering

[TechToolKit]

Thinking about trying to setup a secondary WAN connection using Verizon USB Modem for failover, the primary connection to WAN is Cable. Looking at the modems supported on the ASUS website @ http://www.asus.com/event/networks_3G4G_support/ and it appears that there are 2 devices supported for the US & Verizon on the ASUS website. Verizon Wireless USB760 Modem & Verizon PCD UMW190 USB Modem.

Now looking at the drop-down list of supported USB devices in the most recent ASUSWRT-Merlin build for the ASUS RT-AC68 and these 2 devices don't appear. I don't want to go and buy something that is not going to work with the router & Verizon so, has anyone in the US configured a failover cellular connection with success using Verizon? if so what device did you use and how's setup and the performance.

Thanks in advance for the community support.

Do a search on the forums - there's a lot of questions/answers on how to get a USB 3G/4G/LTE device working on the WAN side,esp with AsusWRT.

The challenge here is that each wireless WAN modem seems to be unique in some way...
