    The User Manual is here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK352/RBK352_RBK353_UM_EN.pdf 

    I believe the answers are:

    1. OpenVPN into the Orbi from the internet (host mode)
      Will not support OpenVPN (client mode) allowing all LAN devices to use one VPN to get TO the internet
    2. Separate SSID's - NO
    3. More than one internet connection - NO.
