Backup Internet connection with a LTE router - possible?

I installed a Orbi AX4200 system (1 router and 1 satellite) connected to the ISP router. I am wondering if I can connect a LTE router and configure the Orbi system to use it as backup connection provider in case the main cable connection fails.

Any hint is welcome

    I use Netgear LAX20 router in front of my Orbi setup. The LAX20 has WAN input (from my fiber internet) and has an LTE SIM card.

    When my fiber goes down the LAX20 will switch over to LTE.

    Orbi systems do not support WAN side failover. You'll need something infront of the Orbi system as mentioned by ekhalil that supports failover features.
