In regard to the possibility of interfering with your home service:

Afaik, VM the firmware has QOS that favours the home service flow rather than the hotspot flow. There is likely devil in the detail because downstream comes from somewhere else than your SH2 but when it starts on 01-Sep I will do some experiments.

The above refers to WiFi contention. If both service flows are on the same 2.4 GHz channel, then there is potential for wireless contention.
