Fail-Over Notification
I just bought the LBR20, and it is working fine. Does anyone know if there is a method to be notified when the primary WAN fails and it switches over to LTE. I would like a push notification, text, or email. Is that possible?
Also, in case a product support person sees this and can forward to the app team.... can the Orbi app add an improvement show what connection is active on the landing page?

I posed this exact same question a couple months ago and have received no answers whatsoever. I think it's a very BIG hole in the feature set. Hopefully someone will respond.
- I did stumble upon that on the landing page for the orbi app it shows the connections that are currently connected. When I disconnected the cable modem and went to the orbi app via anywhere access, it showed only the cellular symbol. After I connected the cable modem back in, it showed the RJ45 connector symbol.
Now they just need to provide active notification vs passive notification.

I am astonished for the lack of this feature...it is beyond BASIC to provide a notification when WAN1 is not working and LTE kicks in...
