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!

Good luck!

Deployment is complete and working great!

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.
