          Yes, you would need 2 and then a router that supports dual WAN. As I said the expensive option.

            So far my best option is 2 clients (not sure what yet, leaning towards the TL-Link routers with ddwrt.)

            Going to use the Edge Router X for the main router, since it supports 2 WANs out of the box.

                  Right, I was looking for a simpler solution, but really, nothing in home router class can do it.

                    This is what I would do. In fact, I might just get me a TP-Link anyway, because there is a Comcast Xfinitiy wireless in range of my house. As a subscriber, I can access it. Dual WAN for me!

                      That's a great point! I can do that too! Fun project tonight! 🙂

                                    My CradlePoint is an old original model with no built in WiFi, so cannot use it like this. I'll have to contemplate purchasing a TP-Link.

                                      You should, it is working great and only $19.99!

                                      Sometimes they go on sale for 9.99
