ASUS RT-N66U: help/suggestions with Android USB tether 3G/4G fuction

[caw2007]

Has anyone actually gotten an Android device to work properly using the USB tether function in the ASUS RT-N66U, 3.0.0.4.270 firmware?

I have a grandfathered VZW unlimited plan and a Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.2.2 and have had no luck.

I tried the settings in the post below, but got no love:

When connected and put into USB tether mode, the phone shows as a USB 3G Dongle and the device name shows up when configuring the connection on the router itself so they appear to be talking, but the router doesn't pull an IP no matter what I've tried.

HALP!

Seriously, any ideas, settings, experience would be great. Otherwise this guy is going back to the store tomorrow.

Does the hotspot functionality work correctly on your phone?

If that doesn't work you are probably out of luck.
