Router R7000 as a bridge (with double authentication)

Question

Hi all!I have this question:is it possible to connect the R7000 to a WIFI HOT SPOT&nbsp; (WOW FI FASTWEB)&nbsp; that is usable with double authentication&nbsp; (when I connect to WOW FI Fastweb, I must put&nbsp; username+password)In other words, setting the R7000 router as a bridge that gives internet connection through the Hot Spot Fastweb (but important, we have to set that the key to use the hotspot is made by username &amp; password -&nbsp; not only a password)&nbsp;I hope this is possible!Otherwise, I have to put the router in the trash can..&nbsp; :(Waiting for Your help!Thanks!Stefano(and a big smack to Elvy)

To do that you'd need WISP mode.&nbsp;Which isn't supported in stock firmware.&nbsp;the good thing is there's a strong 3rd party firmware support for the r7000.&nbsp;I know that OpenWRT supports WISP mode.&nbsp;And OpenWRT can be installed to the r7000. But since its 3rd party firmware, it wouldn't be supported on these forums.&nbsp;I'd checkout the openwrt forums.&nbsp;https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/r7000https://routerpassword.info/configure-setup-wisp-mode-in-openwrt-router/&nbsp;
