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
