Nighthawk LAX20 router as WiFi gateway ?

Hi,  I am looking for a solution that will allow me to set up a local WiFi network using either an existing Ethernet or WiFi network as access to the internet, along with a possible cellular backup. ...

    For a router to connect to a wireless and use it as a WAN requires WISP mode. 

    The LAX20 doesn't have that. 

    the only netgear device that I know of that does is the PR2000 which is a very old travel router from netgear. 

    Not what I'd recommend and it doesn't support LTE/Sim.
