Automatic "failover" to cellular when wired data limit approached

Question

So, I have a somewhat backwards scenario. My wired ISP has a 1TB limit, and my wireless is unlimited.

Is there a way I can have the LB2120 monitor the *wired* data usage, and when it hits, say, 90 or 95% of the limit, it automatically switches to cellular-only util the billing cycle date?

I get an 85%-used warning from my ISP, so I can manually enable wireless-only at that point, and then manually disable that after the billing cycle restarts, but I would like to automate that of course.

If not, I wonder if a future firmware upgrade could add that functionality?

LB2120 can send you an SMS alert if 3G/4G LTE Data Limit Warning and/or 3G/4G LTE Data limit Exceeded.

Here's the reference link:&nbsp;

&nbsp;

But there is no option to automatically switch connection if data usage exceeded or reached data usage.&nbsp;You may post your query or suggestion to this page :
