Hidden Kamper :

You have a backup router, not a backup internet. I would invest in a decent router. Looks like you’re already using tplink. Omada everywhere would be a decent SMB network solution. You need 2 separate ISP connections going into a router with at least 2 WAN ports. Configure the router to have a primary/secondary(failover) or you can do load balancing if the router is capable. Never have 2 separate WiFi networks broadcasting the same SSID. You are bound to have connectivity issues if you need to connect a printer via network. Go with tplink Omada and you’ll be able to have managed handoffs for devices. Everyone starts somewhere and by no means am I trying to insult you, just trying to help. Cheers and happy networking!

user6517012269209 :

why are you not doing load balancing, hot stand by is waste of money

Lowmein :

im a project manager at TPx and we are always looking for amazing partners such as yourself. Look us up if you run into a project you need some help with.

Matthew (DJ Cyber) :

you do not want 2 devices that are not centrally configured to have the same ssid.

xetzis :

starlink is better as a backup

pcJmac :

So the strongest SSID just shows up and you only have to manage one id and password? That’s cool.

Unleash Chaos :

Yikes, I had to play this 3x. There is a better way (unifi) (WAN1 & WAN2) and that’s it. But if your way works for them it’s a win

jm179 :

ups?

Your Tech Guru :

Clean all that up. Get router that has failover built in. UniFi works well.

🇺🇸Daniel :

Consider Link balancer, contrackd?

RJM TECHNOLOGY :

Nice 👍🏼

Monti :

Ugh…toast 🤦🏽‍♂️

Merrittface :

I know a company that charges the customer for a 4g failover every month but doesn’t pay the Verizon bill. There is probably about 100 locations that the failovers don’t work because of this. Then when the primary goes out they make up some dumb excuse why the failover isn’t working

Randotexas :

so many questions

Tom47 :

I can’t wait until I pocket around $640k so I can build stores that have dedicated “server rooms”, literally a walk -in closet.

Tik Toker :

FHRP!

Airfryer173 :

Your Tech Guru :

And they need a new rack. That one is packed. No ventilation at all. They need to go up to a 6U at least

Cali Crazed Music :

smart

Jammer :

This setup will work but I deploy a fully managed failover solution where the entire business fails over instead of certain devices. Then you can control which things can use the failover connection through the managed router.

T.Toca :

Unifi make this much easier with less of a mess...😏

Your Tech Guru :

I just saw your location. I can’t even blame you. It’s par for the course in Miami.

Randy T :

Wow. A hackers paradise. Why not put in a real firewall configure one port for primary a second port for secondary and a third port for LAN. Hell you could even load balance if everything is configured correctly. You have a lot to learn. Stop listening to ChatGPT.
