I got the RUTX11 only as failover to 4G LTE if the cable modem goes down.

How do I configure the RUTX11 to be in between the Cable Modem and the existing LAN Router -- and detect if the Cable Modem goes down then Failover to the 4G connection to feed that to the local network (existing router)?

thanks for the help!

Hello,

From the UI, go to Network->Failover, set the mode to Failover and enable the Wan and one of the mob1s[1-2]a1 sections and set "Flush connections" both on Connect an Disconnected in the properties.

OK, did that.  I dont need any firewalls since my LAN's Router is a FW.  Do I need to setup the RUTX11 in Bridge or Passthrough?

Also once its config'd, how do I insert between the Cable Modem & LAN Router?  Meaning, I have LAN1 set to a static IP (192.168.2.3) which is how I'm getting to the Admin UI.

Assuming I set the WAN port to DHCP to get an IP from the Cable Modem... but should I keep LAN1 as 192.168.2.3 (static IP) and tell the Router the WAN Default Gateway is 192.168.2.3... or set the WAN to a different subnet, like 192.168.1.1 so the LAN Router uses that for the WAN GW?

thx!

Just connect the cable modem to port 4, and use the ports 1-3 as before. No need to use Bridge or Passthrough.

thank you!  I decided to reset the config to Defaults, then after I followed your instructions - bingo!

Any tips on setting for Attack Prevention and if I want to setup a the Wifi as a "guest" network so it can only connect to the internet but not my LAN?

thx again!!!

For the guest network :https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/How_to_set_up_a_guest_WiFi_network_on_RUTX

Attack prevention:

- don't allow remote ssh remote http(s) CLI in System->Administration->Remote access if you need such access for yourself use a VPN

- in Network->Firewall->General settings, set Wan->Lan.Input and Wan->Lan.Forward to Reject.

- in Network->Firewall->Attack Prevention, enable all options.
