Repeat either of the two “pre-selected” WiFis hotspots [closed]
I have two phones at home, both of which support WiFi by way of Hotspot mode. I want to configure my OpenWrt router to be repeating/sharing either of the two hotspots, whichever is available at the time.
I want the 'clients' at home to only know about one WiFi, the OpenWrt, and I want it to feed whichever 'underlying' WiFi is available at the time; hotspot1 or hotspot2. I want to be able to turn off one of the hotspots and turn on the other and that should work seamlessly to the client(s) of the OpenWrt.
I have managed to 'join' one of the hotspots, but I can't figure out how to make the router join a second and switch between the two based on availability.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this isn't a Unix question. OpenWRT may be based on a Unix kernel, but this question is about WiFi networking and low-level OpenWRT functionality.
