Hey team, Question - I have two clients who want some type of fail over for when their broadband service goes out. Happens monthly in the area they are in. Comcast is pushing a device made by cradle point called an aer1650. This device looks like a modem/router/gateway with a 4 port switch on the back as well as cellular antenna.
My issue is that the 3 people at Comcast I have talked to have no idea how this hooks into the network. Does this replace your router? Does this go inline after your router? Will is supply internet to items via a network switch? Comcast can't answer these questions and they have even sent me info, I have googled for some info and come up with nothing other than videos of people deploying it as as BYON device where it is a stand alone item, not fail over.
My suggestion was to employ another broadband provider and use a Ubiquiti USG to switch to ISP #2 in case of ISP #1 failure and switch back to ISP #1 when it senses service has been restored.
One office is smaller - Maybe 10 total devices. Second office is much larger - closer to 30 devices.
Thoughts and comments. Thanks for your help!
