Combine LAN with cellular failover

Technical Support for Routers

Hi good folks,

I've bought a Beryl AX and want to use it as a failover device in case of internet disruption. Is it possible to switch the WAN port to LAN and additionally, use cellular as failover?

I have a small homeserver attached to the router with the IP 192.168.0.2.

When I switch WAN to LAN, the router acts as a normal network device in my home network (192.168.0.0/24), which is what I want. But then, I cannot configure cellular as failover.

When I switch LAN back to WAN, the router creates a new network (192.168.8.0/24) and I can create the failover configuration. NAT configuration then does not allow me to access my homeserver.

Am I too stupid? :slight_smile:

I have a solution. The Beryl AX stays in router mode, creates its own network and uses cellular as a failover. The homeserver is exposed through DMZ to the 192.168.0.0/24 network.

Only caveat: This way I can access the Beryl AX only via its own IP on the 192.168.8.0/24 subnet. But thats fine for me.
