connect tl-mr3420 to broadband router TL-R480T+ (not WiFi) as backup connection

Hello!
I have a broadband router TP-Link TL-R480T+ and a TL-MR3420 (V 2.4) with 3G dongle and would like to combine the two, i.e. using the TL-MR3420 over 3G as a backup internet connection. No WiFi needed, just the 3G functionality.
I have found some information on the net, but all related to bridging WiFi, which I do not use. I would like to provide the 3G signal as a second WAN entry to the TL-R480T+ and, if the first connection falls, it would use the latter.
Here my TL-MR3420 Setup:
Network -> Internet Access
3G/4G Only
Network -> LAN
IP Address: 192.168.188.200
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Wireless -> Wireless Settings
Disabled
DHCP -> DHCP Settings
Disabled
The rest of the settings are as factory default.
TL-R480T+ Setup:
TL-R480T+ tries to connect but never succeed.
I could set up the 3G router for working with a notebook, without having another line attached, so the 3G connection is working. If I try to connect it to the broadband router, it will not connect.
Any ideas or documentation about such a setup around?
Thanks for your appreciated help!
