=== Enabling 3G fallback === The most common usage of 3G ~~with the [[TG582N\|TG582n]]~~ will probably be to use 3G as a fallback link in the event of the ADSL link going down. There are several ways of achieving this, depending on the degree of automation required and the network/tariff used for 3G. The following notes are intended to provide guidance, but are unlikely to result in resiliance on a par with the Office::1 product. To configure the 3G link to be permanently up, but traffic only routed when the ADSL link is down, follow the instructions above but then do: {Administrator}=>ppp rtadd intf=mobilebroadband dst=0.0.0.0 metric=20 {Administrator}=>ppp ifconfig intf=mobilebroadband dnsmetric=20 and, to bring the 3G link up when the router is power-cycled: {Administrator}=>:ppp ifattach intf=mobilebroadband This assumes that the routing metric and dns metric for the ADSL link are both set to 10. Larger numbers represent a higher "cost", so interfaces with lower costs will be preferred. These can be checked with: ==Other pages regarding this router:== <ncl style=bullet maxdepth=5 headings=bullet headstart=2 showcats=1 showarts=1 showfirst=1>Category:Router [[TG582N]]</ncl>
