Failover: 3G/4G LTE Routers For Business Continuity

3G/4G for DSL/Broadband Backup (Failover)

A 3G or 4G connection on your DrayTek router functions just like any other WAN (Internet) connection – your connected users, wired or wireless have access to the Internet and can conduct all normal activities. Where 3G/4G is especially useful is providing connectivity where a hard-wired connection (DSL or cable) is not practical, but also for backup/failover as you’ll learn below.

As 3G/4G doesn’t need any additional fixed line rental (and with ‘PaYG’ there is no monthly cost) it’s ideal for contingency.

As well as letting you use 4G/5G as your primary or only method of connection to the Internet, DrayTek routers can also connect to ADSL/VDSL and then automatically switch to 4G/5G only in the event of DSL failure. This is ideal for businesses who rely on their internet connection and want the peace of mind and convenience of uninterrupted connectivity.

Additionally, DrayTek routers can support load balancing, whereby your Internet traffic from your local users is spread across multiple connections, for example ADSL and 4G. If you want a more complex setup, you can set rules to force different traffic types to use specific connections.

3G/4G Routers are ideal for:

Backup to your primary Internet feed (ADSL, fibre, etc.)

Providing lower cost broadband than a fixed line soluton

Areas without fixed line broadband access

Compatible witha wide range of 3G modems/phones

Temporary locations: Mobile homes, small office units in business parks

Locations on the move: coaches, trains, etc.

Fairgrounds and temporary exhibitions

Outdoor locations (the router and modem itself must be indoors)

Disaster planning and internet high availability
