I seen some videos of the OS, the dual wan settings, when you choose the second one slot it allows you to choose USB. Also I know you can add cellular modem trough USB too
Basically I wonder if anyone tried adding 2.5G USB Ethernet card to USB 3.0 port?
In reality you can get 5G trough USB, they more expensive thou.
If this works its amazing, its extra two 5G or 2.5G ports for a router.
 
No. Even assuming the kernel would have the necessary driver, you would still need to manually reconfigure the router to add that interface to the LAN bridge, among other things.

Just wanted to give my 2c as well.

I have an AiMesh system with a TUF AX5400 master,1x wired in switch, 2x ethernet connected rt-ac68u nodes, and i needed to connect 2x pc directly to the main router.
So i needed an extra port.

Heres what i did

Added a 1gb usb dongle

WAN->Enable usb mode:ON (resten af siden std)
DualWan->Enable Dual WAN:OFF
DualWan->Primary WAN:USB
Moved Wan ethernet cable to the dongle, and rebooted

So now i have 5 ethernet Lan ports, and usb wan, so its more than possible to have wan running on the usb at least in my case :)
