[AusNOG] Ethernet + 4G router recommendations

Tue Nov 4 23:24:14 EST 2014

+1 for this and can confirm 4G works well, similar to Brad's suggestion, the 881 with 3G/4G module works a treat about $1200 though compared to the Microtik at sub $100.

Can anyone recommend a good Ethernet router that can use 4G as backup/failover?

Well, depends on how you define "good" but I've used a MikroTik
RB951-2HnD with a 3G dongle, worked pretty well. Haven't tried a 4G
dongle. Failover needs a wee bit o' scripting, but there are plenty of
helpful examples out there.

A Cisco 1921 with a EHWIC-4G-LTE-G would be perfect, but at a starting price of around $2k,

The RB951-2HnD will set you back about $110 delivered...

Regards, K.
