Separate SSiD per ISP on MWAN3?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

greetings to everyone again,

i have 2 ISP’s… & sometimes household members complain about the internet ‘laggy’ or where the active connection has some issues vs the other isp (if i manually switch to it)
i for myself would not know what ISP is currently ‘active’ unless i/we do a speedtest or similar…

i am wondering if it is possible to set 2 different SSID per ISP using MWAN3? so that household members can choose where they want to connect & w/out changing any settings or stuff for MWAN3 (effectively, this may create 3 SSiD’s of: Auto, ISP-a & ISP-b)

note:
-: the AP is a separate device as well as the OpenWRT router itself (VM)
-: the ‘LAN’ portion will remain to use what MWAN3 is supplying…

thank you for your time reading my post

for -a and -b it is quite easy to do having separate routing table per home network. no idea how that interacts with mwan though.

SSID1 (ISP-a), mwan3 rule src_ip subnet-SSID1, policy wan_only
SSID2 (ISP-b), mwan3 rule src_ip subnet-SSID2, policy wanb_only
SSID3 (auto), mwan3 rule src_ip subnet-SSID3, policy balanced
