Hi, I would like my Asus AC86u, used as a VPN router, to connect to the Wifi of an AirBnb condo I'm staying at. Is it possible? I believe I need Wi-Fi Bridge mode but can't find that setting.
 
No, you need a wisp router to do that.
 
You should be able to use DD-WRT or OpenWRT to get WISP functionality on consumer routers. Being as this is a Broadcom based router DD-WRT might be your only option assuming they support your model.
 
Asuswrt-(Merlin) is only available for this model, nothing else. No Wireless WAN option. GL.iNet sells travel routers with WISP.

Thanks, is GL.iNet a good option for using OpenVPN files also? That is my second requirement.
 
This one is a popular model:


See what it does in specs. It offers multiple VPN connection types, but don't expect super speeds. It's a pocket sized travel router.
