FireBrick 3G Dongle: Difference between revisions

= Ping test example of falling back =
 
Here we ping an IP on the LAN, behind the FB2700, and get the ADSL router to re-sync. The ADSL went down, the 3G kicked in with only a single ping lost, then shortly after the ADSL came back on and took over the routing again. You can tell which pings were on 3G by the time - the 3G has ping of a few hundred milliseconds, whilst the ADSL is about 16 milliseconds.
