Re: [OOL] Backup for OOL in case of outage like with Sandy for b

We use a Verizon MiFi, and connect that to the router WAN port with a bridge.

The problem with DSL is it is slower, and if the wires are down that is down too.

The MiFi is expensive - $50/mo, and $10/Gb after 5Gb on our plan.

I know of an insurance agency with 10 computers that does this. Their exchange email is hosted offsite, as well as their main insurance application. No issues with the 4G MiFi serving the whole office - other than cost.

Does anyone know of a router which could be connected to both OOL and MyFi would use the MyFi as a fallback? I believe I saw one in the past but cannot locate it now. Thanks
