<br>
I'm thinking about putting in a cellular modem at home to act as a<br>
secondary/backup WAN link for critical functions (alert emails, security<br>
system access) in case the primary WAN (DSL) drops. I don't want<br>
traffic going over that link unless the DSL is dead so this is a true<br>
failover rather than a load balance (or I suppose it's a load balance<br>
with a ratio of infinity weighted towards the DSL)<br>
<br>
My first thought was to use something like a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite<br>
(maybe need to go to the EdgeRouter 8, not sure) with two WANs<br>
configured and then the NAT and public assignments behind the third<br>
port. It appears EdgeOS can do two WANs but it's not clear from what<br>
I've been able to dig up so I wanted to find out if there are<br>
other/better options or suggestions.<br>
