Hi
Is there an option to re-configure an Asus Merlin router that currently gets its IP through Ethernet to get the IP from a wireless hotspot (created by my mobile phone) instead?
 
Try configuring the router for Repeater mode:
Note: In this mode, the firewall, IP sharing, and NAT functions are disabled.

Wireless Client mode is not supported.
 
I just used one of the tiny GL.iNet routers as a wireless bridge when needed to do something similar.
