3G/4G dongle - Sierra Wireless AirCard 330U LTE - anyone try it in an N66?

Hi:

I just got my RT-N66U and I'm looking at the 3G/4G WAN backup function, which might really come in handy.

I see it asks for your country and provider. Mine is listed. (Canada-Rogers).

Unfortunately the only device my provider will currently provide is a Sierra Wireless AirCard 330U LTE and I see that is NOT on the device list drop-down!

There are other Sierra Wireless cards listed here:

but not the 330U.

Has anyone tried it? Will it work even though it's not on the list?
 
Should work?

I submitted a support ticket to ASUS. They got back to me VERY quickly and responded:

"When setting the router up with that device, just use "auto" for device type. As long as all of the other settings are correct, it should work fine."

I did see the auto setting but I also saw the dropdown for all the devices. I thought auto just attempted to auto-detect a device from the rest of the dropdown, I guess I was wrong!

Here's to hoping this is correct. The dongle is expensive without a contract ($169.99).

I am justifying this for my job but it'd be nice for the N66 too. ;)
