![]() ![]() The product support page for the third UK model was never published. There are no US model User's Manuals yet, but you can look at the UK equivalent for the first two. The third model is installed between your WAN router and WAN ISP hardware, it does the failover/failback. ![]() The first two units, you still need a dual WAN router with failover/failback. These units are significantly lower in price than any of the LTE failover products and services on the market (Cradlepoint, Cisco, Sierra, Peplink, etc.) I've looked at them all. I was able to find one distributor who already has the first two in stock and is shipping now. You can pre-order all three devices on Amazon. LTE Failover - US LB2120 - UK LB2110 (never released).LTE Bridge w/PoE - US LB1121 - UK LB1111.There was a UK version (LB2110) of the US LB2120, but for some reason the product was either never introduced or pulled from the market. These are basically the same models as the UK versions (LB1110, LB1111) which have been available since June 2016, presumably with different LTE bands. ![]() The LB1120 (Bridge) and LB1121 (Bridge w/PoE) will be released on Feb 20th, and the LB2120 (LTE Failover) on March 20th. Netgear announced at CES 2017 a new line of LTE modems, ranging in price from $120 to $160. So, here is the lowest non-recurring and recurring cost, minimal effort solution I am implementing. While all technically possible, it seemed like a PITA. Initially, I looked at adding a USB LTE modem to a DD-WRT router, configure it for dual WAN, add scripts to do the failover/failback, change the IPTABLE to limit what IPs and throttle the BW over the LTE WWAN. Not sure whats better trying to make things work or just buying proven devices and spending time in other areas. I have an AT&T Wireless Unite Explorer I just connected via USB and I can't "see" it via SSH on the USB. Using an Ethernet connection, pfSense will have to ping something - using a (small) amount of data.Īll true and good points however your device is not listed on the page. However, there is an advantage to most USB devices - pfSense is going to be able to tell if there is no connection without using data unnecessarily. Just need to order a sim for it.Īnother advantage, it's built in battery lasts a looong time. It has an Ethernet port that I'll connect to my pfSense box as a secondary wan port. I have a Huawei e5770 that I plan on using ( ). This doesn't matter for Ethernet connected devices. Yes, they track USB devices only because there is a driver dependency. ![]()
