Thanks, Very good overview and demo of the failover to 4g. I was going to use the ER7206 router for a project, but only recently discovered this ER706W-4G model, which is now a serious contender instead.
Hi, how do you know that the pings are not already going through 4G connection when you disconnected the WAN cable? Also, is it possible to use it as load balancer too to gain more bandwidth in case of using multiple TCP connections?
So you want to load balance between the WAN and the 4G connection? The ping was running through the primary connection as i could see activity on WAN 1.
@@InsideWire I see. I asked because in all the other videos I watched for this product I see ping fails for 3-10 seconds until it can go through the other WAN
@@InsideWire yah I would only go for it with it having the 4g add on but I definitely like my access points separate as I have one downstairs and one upstairs both in the hallway
I got a good price on some Deco X50 Pro...2.5 gb ports on both AP's yeah the Deco software is fairly ordinary and you require a seperate app but the units are nicer than the Omada ones. I use the 2.4GHz radio on the ER706W-4G just for the 2.4Ghz devices and have a little one mesh access point that i just run off a wireless backhaul of that for workshop in garage, still get full speed Internet just dont transfer large stuff across that stream. I disabled the SSID's that i needed to create the network once i connect those devices up so i have two visable radios one is an AX for the home network and the other little one is AC off a ax wirless backhaul that does not interfere with my main visable ax network. Hopefully that all made sense.
Do I need to buy other devices than modem supplied by the internet provider to use ER706W? My aim is to isolate untrusted IoT devices that requires controller devices (App installed on my smart phone) to be connected to the same network.
Hi there, good video! Can I ask did you connect the WAN straight into your incoming FTTP ONT? Or did you leave your ISP router intact and just use it in bridge mode? If connected direct to the ONT, was it easy to set up a PPPoE connection for BT business fibre? I am thinking of swapping my BT business hub out at my office (small office just a few of us in here) Thanks!
For this router, I put my modem in bridge mode used it that way. The PPPoE settings are straight forward as long as you have all the details from your business hub.
It can work as both primary or secondary you choose. I purchased this puppy last week and so far I am very happy i have been using a baby brother to the product ER605 on a couple of projects and wanted something similar with the failover to LTE and this was it. I steered away from the Deco model due to not having a stand alone management via web gui like the Omada as you can choose, only issue i have are the mesh ap's are only wall or ceiling mount units but i like the decor type as I am leasing property and with the and Deco AP's you place around the home and can backhaul them via data points around house. The most difficult thing over the last 18 months or so is the difficulty finding a decent SMB/IOT router that was fully featured like this one as befor this I was trying to find LTE modules to bridge into these SMB routers the same for VDSL router so I would end up with 3 devices now i have cut that down to two (VDSL modem and the ER706W-4G)
I assume you want RJ45 modules? Most will be compatible, try the TP-Link ones there is a 10G and 1G model available from them (TL-SM5110-SR and TL-SM331T) also yes, this has a 4G LTE modem onboard
@@poposu92Different kind of adapter, this is an SFC it is basically just more flexible than copper for hard to cable areas and is hot swappable for porting straight into other than that no great benefit over your standard cat6 copper. The adapter you refer to looks like an optical audio transfer adapter i assume for extension? for passing digital audio.
