==Working 4G Dongles==
*[[FireBrick 2700 with 4G ZTE MF823|ZTE 823]] (O2 branding, or direct from Amazon etc work) — this dongle appears to work "out of the box" for failover, but needs [[FireBrick 2700 with 4G ZTE MF823|specific configuration]] if you want to route your IP blocks through it. The FireBrick will get an IP address via DHCP from the dongle, eg 192.168.8.100
*Huawei E3372 - cheaper than the ZTE MF823, available from Amazon and others. In ethernet mode (its default) it works with a factory FireBrick configuration once a USB Interface has been added. The FireBrick will get an IP address via DHCP from the dongle, eg 192.168.8.100 - '''If using an A&A SIM, be sure to set the APN in the dongle, ie via http://192.168.8.1 - Settings - Profile Management - New Profile.''' (Re-tested November 2019)
 
===Interface for 4G Dongles===
A 4G dongle will usually work as an ethernet device, and so the FireBrick will need an interface on the IUSB port, set as a DHCP client. If your config doesn't have an Interface already, then add one such as:
 
<interface name="Dongle" port="USB" graph="Dongle">
<subnet name="DHCP Client" nat="true" comment="Dongle"/>
</interface>
