I'm not very good at networking, so I want extra help to make sure I didn't miss anything while setting up my LTE/4G failover. I ordered a Teltonika RUT950 LTE Router because it was highly recommended. My plan is to connect my unreliable WAN (like DSL) via Ethernet to the router as the main link, and use data SIM cards as a backup for 4G with two antennas on the roof. My main worry is whether I've understood everything correctly—should I have WAN over Ethernet as the primary connection and LTE as a backup that switches automatically when WAN comes back? Also, any tips would be appreciated since networking is my weak spot.
I haven't used that specific router before, but as long as it supports setting a main and a secondary or backup connection, it should function. Remember that during a failover there will be a clear break while switching to the backup and/or returning to the primary.
It means the phones or computers connected to the internet will notice their address changes.
Because the devices will use a separate connection, existing links will be lost and must be reestablished. You might have to switch to a VPN, refresh a site, restart a download, or rejoin a game based on how the systems are configured. A few packets may drop automatically, so adjust this in your router settings.
Great! I'm glad it worked. Let me know if you need anything else.
