Possible to Setup Failover with RS700
Is it possible to set up an automatic Internet failover (LTE or cable) for the RS700? I understand this would require an adapter or additional device since the RS700 is, itself, not dual or multi WAN...
Yeah, it is. I currently have a Netgear PR60X (one 10gig Internet port and one 2.5gig Internet port) as the router with failover internet, and the RS700 is set up as the main router. Just note that in this setup, there's a double NAT, so you'll need to enter port forwarding settings properly in both the failover router and the RS700.
Other routers outside of the Netgear PR60X are the TP-Link ER8411 (one multi WAN internet port, rest are 1 gigabit) and TP-Link ER605 (gigabit ports only). I haven't tried them out yet, but I believe all of the Ubiquiti EdgeRouters are capable of multi WAN as well. Most of them seem to be gigabit ports only.
From what I understand, the UniFi LTE Backup Pro would need to connect to one of the Internet ports on the failover capable router. According to its description, it requires a UniFi Gateway, so I'm not sure if you can get around that.
