You can try the app, under Settings, not sure if you can change the mode there, if no, you can on the web page.

Yes you can do this.
Just set them with a different ssid and channel.
not a big deal.
Next time, I'd push for switching to a business class like the SXK80 where you can seperate out ssid's and only have to pay for the one modem/isp connection.

So after you got the system up and running, just curious, what firmware version are the two systems running?

Glad it's all working.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
