Right now I plug my ISP router into the WAN port of my AC86u. The AC86u has VPN firmware.

I would also like to use my phone as an internet source, either via WIFI, or USB tether. I can not figure out how to do this since the setup wizard is gone and there doesn't seem to be a way to setup a new profile. I should note I'm on the stock AsusWRT firmware and prefer not to install Merlin.

Anyone know of a good guide to use phone WIFI or a USB tether to act as an internet source for a stock AsusWRT router?
 
You cannot use phone WiFi but you can use USB tether with an Android phone.

USB Application > 3G/4G > Enable USB Mode > Select USB Device = Android phone.
