April 4, 20233 yr I am in the process of setting up a redundant mobile data network. The idea is to have a 4G router, and connect smart plugs to it so I can reboot the main router and modem remotely if the main internet goes out or if the main router goes stupid. It would also be nice If I could connect to the Unraid Server via the backup 4G network also. I have 2 ethernet ports on the server, can I connect to what is essentially 2 Lans, at the same time? Why don’t I just use a some kind of WAN failover solution? Well this is kind of it, but WAN failover has never worked reliably for me, like this morning the internet was down, but it was still able to Ping google, so the failover WAN didn’t work. The above is much more robust, even if more complicated Edited April 4, 20233 yr by TheBuz
