Topic: Router with USB-Port for USB-Tethering

Hello,

I am new to OpenWRT(not even installed). I am trying to find a router with the possibility to implement a VDSL-failover by using  an Android phone in tethering mode.


Does anybody have experience with such a setting? What router would you suggest!

Thank you very much!

PS
If it would not only be possible to use/attach a mobile phone for tethering, but to insert the SIM-cart directly into the router, that would great.
As much i do know, this approch is superior than to use an USB-modem-stick, because of firmware-dependencies. As much I do know, e.g. the ZyXEL SBG3600N  is one of the few routers supporting that scenario.

The discussion might have continued from here.
