|
Our internet service goes out fairly regularly, and usually for days at a time (AT&T in West GA). As a result, I usually enable hot spot on a phone and then reconfigure DD-WRT as a client and join it to my hot spot. Boom, everyone is back on the internet, albeit a bit slower than with our regular internet (we get a whopping 2.6mbps on our internet connection, about 2.1mbps on the cell phone).
But, I then have to reconfigure everything back to the MODEM when they get around to fixing the latest problem. Then wash-rinse-repeat.
So you know what is coming, it'd be great to use dual WAN with failover, if one could be a hardwired MODEM and the other could be the hot spot on a phone.
Has anyone tried something like that? Any thoughts on how feasible (if at all) it would be.
Thanks for any input in advance.
