I just got a Beryl GL-MT3000 when not traveling I want to use this as a failover network for my Home ASUS RT-AX86R. My home Internet Provider isn't 100%, who.s is?
Here in North Texas Spectrum outages are not unheard of. I want to use this in Repeater Mode via it's 2.5Gb port to the 2.5Gb port on my ASUS set to a secondary fallback. Often when Spectrum fails my (Sprint)/T-Mobile Unlocked Samsung 5G phone still has good network connectivity. This doesn't help my home wired devices though.
Seems the simple solution is to have the Beryl in standby Repeater mode connected to my Phones HotSpot. This way when Spectrum FAILS my ASUS will failover to the Beryl.
If the Wan to Lan only works at 1Gb speed I can assign another port on the ASUS for this purpose (ASUS_WRT/Merlin Firmware). I presently have no other 2.5Gb wired devices.
CellPhone {{{ Beryl GL-MT3000 ~~2.5Gb~

Cable Provider ~~~~~~~~~~~~1Gb~/
you got the asus router which is used as your isp router ?
And down stream you want the MT3000 do the load balancing?
so technically correct me if i misunderstood , you want in the beryl do load balance between the repeater mode to your phone hotspot and your cable internet (Spectrum) ?
I think this is possible through the multi wan feature:
now you should only use the lan wiring of the beryl, and repeater, eventually but much more advanced you can also choose to encapsulate the full management via vlan but it makes it complicated and sometimes not necessarily, it depends how and where the beryl is located and how it becomes a issue for other wired devices
My home primary router (nothing to do with ISP) is a FAR superior ASUS RT-AX86U. It does failover and load balancing, it's much faster, more memory handles more clients.
It has a Gb WAN 4 Gb LAN and a switchable 2.5 Gb LAN/WAN port. Though it doesn't allow secondary WAN to be wireless, this is where the Beryl GL-MY3000 comes in.
So, when not on the road i want to use the GL-MT-3000 as a 2.5Gb wired source for my router for FailOver when Spectrum/Cable does fail.
Who puts a dual core 1.3ghz cpu in control over a quad core 2ghz cpu? Hint a very poor networking engineer.
My question was simple you failied to understand what i wanted to accomplish and totally ignored the question.
Question: when switching the 2.5Gb WAN port to use as a LAN port, is it still 2.5Gb or is it deprecated to 1Gb?
However there are some known issues with 2.5 Gbps ports connected to other ports which can not provide 2.5 Gbps. So connection 2.5 Gbps to 5 Gbps might fail, for example.
To summarize: The port speed is dedicated to the physical port, not the software behind it (so LAN, WAN, whatever does not matter)
, you want in the beryl do load balance between the repeater mode to your phone hotspot and your cable internet (Spectrum) ?
