Although we've seen problems with some Vigor routers in the past (i.e. 2600 having problems with ADSL Max), some customers do use them and were interested in how they work with the AAISP 3G Data sims for fallback. We configured one, and here is details on the config (pretty straight forward) and how it worked falling back to 3G.

When the ADSL line was plugged back in again the router gained sync and logged in, and thendisconnected the 3G Dongle.

At the moment (November 2010) The Data SIM and ADSL&nbsp;line had separate WAN&nbsp;IP&nbsp;addresses, and we're unable to route blocks of IPs to the Data SIM.
