Hey guys, I need a Bridge or Gateway of sorts.
I'd like to be able to connect wired Ethernet to a device that connects to the Internet only through wireless.
The problem:
I have a wireless 4G router that can only connect clients to the internet via wireless.
I'd like to get a balance router and set it up so that I can use that connection for failover.
Whatever this device is, it needs to connect to say the WAN2 port of the balance router with Ethernet. The WAN1 port would connect to the ADSL modem.
An expensive, almost solution, is https://www.peplink.com/products/balance/model-comparison/ , but the cellular modem must be USB.
I'm also planning to upgrade to the ASUS RT-68Uac router when announced. This also can interface with a USB cellular modem.
I am using an access point from D-link as a repeater, but have not tried to see if it COULD work in the mode desired. I also have an oler AP that I am not using, but just not sure if they work in reverse.
I really don't have all of the details, nor am I familiar with what i might need. The ASUS router is very similar tot e RT-66ac. The primary difference is the use of USB 3.0 ports. The 66 has some sort of failover implemented to a USB cellular modem.
Verizon is so unreliable that I want/need backup internet with the ability to access my network printers. CLEAR allows you to purchase unlimited internet by as few hours, days, weeks or months at a time. I just used the CLEAR modem for a day for like $10. With Windows (which I'm not using at the moment), I could tether my laptop to the Internet. That way gets really expensive with a 2 GB limit per month.
