LBR 20 compatibility with wifi6 AX6000 (RBK852)
I have a Orbi RBK852 Wifi6 package, (AX6000), can I add LBR to the system although it’s only wifi 5? Does LBR have the mechanism for give priority for 4g SIM card wired connection, and switch to wired if SIM card fails/runs out of data etc?

The failover is only set up to prioritize landline and fallback to the LTE. I recall others have asked the same question as you so maybe they add a feature to do that. Several (like me) have asked for a notification (such as email) when it has switched to the fallback. It seems like an obvious feature, but that has fallen on deaf ears so far. Other than that the failover works very well.
Hello,
I have NBK752, there are quite a few features that could be baked into the app such as this, I don't think that netgear's developers internally are prioritizing these feature developments.
This feature could be developed by a 3rd party, it would need to run on another device that is always connected to the router like a raspberry pi.
The pi would run a script to check data usage vs. limit and fire off emails at various thresholds.
Once the limiter is reached the script could automatically toggle the data connection from cellular to landline and vice versa once the monthly data cap rolls over.
If there is enough interest I would consider developing this.
