Hey, you're looking for a solid enterprise-grade router instead of the current model. I recommend considering devices from Cisco, Juniper, or HP for a more robust setup. For firewall capabilities, PF-Sense or IPFire would be great options. Regarding hardware, you'll need a combination of LTE and DSL equipment—specifically a SIM card slot, antenna, or modem (PCIe interface). Make sure to check compatibility with both technologies to ensure seamless performance.

For these services, you'll need a modem. Pfsense handles the router functions only; you won't locate a device capable of DSL and LTE. A suitable router with LTE support is difficult to find. From your perspective, you must obtain modems to access the service. It's worth noting that Synology offers routers that can connect a 4G USB modem. Any router should be compatible with DSL and cable internet.

I haven’t seen any equipment suitable for both DSL and LTE. A practical setup would include a DSL modem, a Mikrotik router, and a USB LTE adapter. If you need something with built-in LTE, Mikrotik offers the “wAP LTE” which provides 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and an LTE modem.
