Plug USB WiFi adapter into router to use as WAN?

[darkfinger]

Hello everyone,
I use WiFi as a backup WAN via a client bridge. I was wondering whether there was any way to simply plug in a WiFi adapter into a USB port and use that instead?

Thanks,
Dave

I don't believe you can because of the lack of USB drivers and possibly power issues. As you mentioned you can set up the WAN or Dual WAN options and plug a wireless bridge into the selected port and deliver your WAN connection by WiFi.
