Nice tutorial!
Do you still have to reboot or manually re-enable the WAN port if you USB as a failover?

i have a asus dsl-ac68u that i use specifically as just 3g/4g with no dsl connected , i can use ether a 3g dongle or my htc phone to make this work and once you get the usb working as the primary wan you can disable the secondary wan as well

eg go to WAN / dual wan

select usb as the primary wan and anything as the secondary wan and save

once it reboots setup the usb as above and ensure its working and then reboot

you can then go to dual wan again and disable it ensuring usb is the primary wan and save
