Getting online via 4G mobile network

How 4G backup works:

Automatic failover: If the modem detects a failure or significant disruption, it automatically switches to the 4G LTE connection to maintain internet access^.

Quick transition: The transition to 4G is fast, meaning there’s minimal interruption to your internet service. Automatic reversion: Once the primary broadband connection is restored, the router automatically switches back from the 4G connection to the main connection.

Benefits of 4G backup:

Enhanced connectivity
Additional peace of mind
Easy setup
