Good morning, I have a wired connection connected to a Firewalla Gold firewall. This firewall allows you to connect, on a second wan, another modem as a failover in case the first connection does not work. I wanted to connect my Archer MR600 with an LTE sim as a failover. My question is this: when you don't activate the failover WAN, you don't consume data traffic, right? Basically the MR600 should only activate when it gets the request from the failover. Another thing: if I keep remote management turned on via the Tether app, does it consume data? Thank you very much!

When it works on Ethernet WAN, it will not consume data of the 3G/4G WAN.

For Tether App remote management, I guess more data will be consumed since the device need to communicate with cloud, but still it consumes the mobile data only when using 3G/4G WAN.

  @QRene Thank you for your answer. I will use without wan connected, just 4G for wan.

LAN connected to firewall failover wan that will be activated only when primary firewall lan (cable) goes down.
