What's your network failover solution ? (alien.top)

I guess my ISP uses some subpar hardware because the connection keeps dropping at peak hours. I want to implement a failover system without having to buy some expensive router which I would not be able to justify with my normal usage.

Wanted to know some other ways how people do it .

5gbps fiber and then a 5G business internet backup failover via UniFi UDM-Pro, all on UPS with a standby Generac. We can take a power and ISP outage simultaneously and have a second or so connectivity hiccup.

Funny! I have an almost identical setup, 5G fiber, 5G Home internet, udm pro on UPS. Instead of standby I have a big lithium setup and a manual inverter generator to top it off if need be. It has been great to have.

Nice! All else being equal I’d rather have a big lithium setup (would tie nicely with my solar) but the house came with a generator, so the free generator won lol

Sounds very inexpensive for a home user.
