Hello everyone,
Thanks for your time
I have a fairly unreliable primary internet connection ...But I also have a reliable 3G "backup" mobile connection.
(I don't use this connection all the time, as it is bandwidth
limited, and quite a bit slower than my fixed ADSL service)
Is there a way to automatically switch
to my 3G backup when my primary ADSL internet service fails?A few technical notes ...
My primary internet is ADSL, and I am connected to my router
via an ethernet cable. No special settings are used on my PC.
I'm just automatically grabbing IP and DNS from my router.
In terms of the 3G internet connection ... it originates from
a mobile 3G device, that throws out a WIFI signal. My PC
connects to it, via WIFI and once again - everything is
automated. IP and DNS etc. No special settings needed.
Does anyone know of any software, that monitors internet connectivity,
and can swap between pre-configured internet service providers?
So ... if my primary internet provider fails, and stops providing service,
then the software disconnects, and reconnects to my 3G connection?
Thanks so much for your time everyone
Cheers,
Johnathan
