TD-W8968 usb modem compatibility

Hi Guys, I'm wanting to know if the TP-LINK TD-W8968 ADSL2 modem is compatible with the USB TP-LINK MA180 3G Modem.

I want to use the TP-LINK MA180 3G Modem as a failover device by having this plugged into the USB port of the TD-W8968. I want this to be automatic failover.

Is this possible and will it work seamlessly without manual user intervention?

Thanks!

MA180 should work with 8968 ADSL modem.
But MA260 is a better because it support faster speed.
When ADSL line is down,it will switch to 3G network automatically.

Ahh ok thank you!

And will this work in the above failover scenario with no user intervention?

Hi guys

Thank you for the advice, I purchased the MA260 and am now trying to set it up.

I have inserted a Telstra data sim into the MA260, but I still can not get it to work. I have used this sim in my phone and it works correctly.

I think there may be some setting requirement in the modem to login, but I have no clue what this may be.

I have activated the 3g setting, but thats all I know to do.

Any ideas would be great, thank you!
