The client has a terrible, unreliable FTTC connection. So, this morning, I've been testing several devices and 4G carriers to find a reliable alternative when the FTTC is full/down.
The good, old LTE12 Chateau is the best for this task, giving a stable and reliable 220/50 Mbit/sec thanks to carrier aggregation.
The newer but smaller hAP ax lite LTE6 is still giving a good result, around 100/50 - expected, as it's "only" a LTE6. This will probably come to my office, while I'm waiting for the Chateau 5G (LTE20) to arrive - probably not before middle of November.

Now, I need to create proper queues and rules to manage the two connections - at the moment, I've implemented only the failover and some simple queues on the FTTC.

Lunch time.

@stefano i have 2 of those hAP ax LTE6 devices and they are surprisingly good. In my case speed isn't much of an issue, but failover configuration and flexibility were. WiFi was a bonus and it works fine. Yeah, I'm a fan. Connecting remote locations through wireguard and I feel confident I can administer these remotely anywhere.

@drizzy Exactly. Those devices are reasonably priced and reliable. I love them.

@stefano Exactly which WWAN module does the Chateau use?

@stefano I'm a big fan of the Chateau LTE12, but I noticed some versions have only 16 MB of storage, so it's not possible to update it after some versions :(

Luckily, the AX lite LTE 6 has more space, so it's better

@stefano need to get one of those Chateau 5Gs in here to test (backordered everywhere!)
