Wifi as WAN

No, your right, only one at a time, but the transition has to be seamless. (Non-technical users)
You have to be able to use ether phone without having to change anything.
-
Oh that will not be easy. In theory the bridging AP could be looking for either one and have the credentials ready to go for either. But if the SSIDs change, passwords change or anything like that this will quickly become very difficult to use.
-
Not possible unless you do both simultaneous.
-
They might really need to cut some corners here, but I doubt this will come out feeling seamless in the end.
-
What about 2 of the Travel routers, both broadcasting the same SSID?
-
The Travel Router locks on the MAC Address, so that's not going to work for 2 phones.

Seems like that would work.

Doh!

One solution would be a Edge Router X, configured with 2 WAN's each connected to a Ethernet to WiFi bridge.
-
Yes, that should work, but you are back to paying not just for a bridge, but for TWO bridges.

This s project can work fairly easily, but will take setup. A hardware investment is required.
I will post something tomorrow.

THANKS!
-
But as @JaredBusch said, they will save so much per month that the expense to do this right might not be so bad.
-
The hardware is no problem! We can spend whatever is needed to get the job done on a enterprise level
-
Tomorrow because, well, see my post in the other thread regarding what I am doing right now.
-
I am just always trying to be a cheap
-
Probably good to invest a little bit here. If they are non-technical, this is going to be a bit of a big undertaking. You are going to want every piece of this to be as stable as possible as things breaking are likely to be very confusing and difficult for them to manage.

So right now I am looking at getting (2) TP-LINK TL-WR702N connected to a Edge Router X and a Ubiquity AP.
Total cost would be about less then $200.
Does Ubiquity make a Ethernet to WiFi adapter?
-
After more thought, I want something nicer then the TP-LINK TL-WR702N.
Any suggestions? Maybe something more enterprise grade?

Not that I have ever seen.
