Hi,

 

I'm a little confused by the purpose of ER703WP-4G, I noticed some other threads but I'm still not any clearer.

 

I was hoping it was a POE powered EAP + 4G modem but I suspect it's actually a small all-in-one 4G and Wifi Gateway?

 

I need something to install to my existing OMADA setup that can provide a 4G WAN connection back to the LAN (for failover) and extend my existing WiFi - The intention is to install to the roof (we're in a rural low internet supply location) so that the outside of my property has wifi from my existing network and my starlink has some redundancy.

 

I suspect from reading the manual (it has DHCP server, VPN etc) that this designed to be the only 'gateway' / 'router' device on the network.

 

Any pointers.

 

Thanks

Andrew

Hi  @ukandrewtaylor 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

I’m not entirely clear about your needs. Do you already have an Omada gateway? Do you want ER703WP-4G to serve as a backup WAN connection while also broadcasting WiFi for daily use? Typically, a backup device remains inactive and only takes over when the primary device goes offline. Therefore, these two functions cannot be fulfilled simultaneously.

Please provide your current network topology and specific requirements(regarding the failover and 4G connection inspection), and we will offer further recommendations. Thank you.
