    2. Can I have my dsl disconnected altogether and use only the pocket wifi LTE connected to my router then to my PCs?
    1. Yes you can have 2 internet sources (eg LTE, wired) but you have manually switch or connect or disconnect to the ASUS router because ASUS is programmed to only automatically manage WAN connection from WAN port & USB port. Its not practical to do it this way because you dont utilize the 2 WAN source simultaneously. ASUS gives you an option to set the USB modem dongle to connect on demand like when your wired broadband is down

    Then you have to enable the bridge function of ASUS in order to connect to the wifi of LTE pocket wifi

    2. Yes you can stop subscribing to wired broadband and just bridge your ASUS to the LTE pocket wifi

    The downside is when your LTE is down you dont have an alternative internet connection unless you are a smartphone user. In which case you can turn on ur mobile data & hotspot and plug the USB cable of the smart phone to the USB port of ASUS to prevent the smart phones battery from draining.

    Then bridge the ASUS to the smart phones hotspot
