Seeking Help Best Cellular router and plans for Backup Failover

[sriram98]

Hello everyone, my current setup consists of a load balancer (TP-Link ER605) and a Wi-Fi 6 access point. My primary internet connection is BSNL Fiber with a 200 Mbps plan and OTT services. 90% of the time, BSNL works fine, but when it fails, I need a failover connection.

Currently, I am using JioAirFiber with the load balancer. However, due to the ping difference between AirFiber and optical fiber, I am facing issues when connecting to my work VM (WFH). I am planning to replace JioAirFiber with a cellular router.

My primary goals are:

1. Reducing the cost of the JioAirFiber connection (currently ₹700).
2. Having a reliable backup connection, either Airtel or Jio.

Please suggest a better cellular router and plans for this setup.

Another back up fiber service with lower pings is better instead of Wireless with higher pings. Now a days Jio Airfiber with 5G SA is better than any other wireless/4G/5G service, if another ISP with fiber not available.

Other service providers in my area offer shared internet bandwidth, which results in poor performance during peak hours and higher ping compared to BSNL. AirFiber is not an option for me due to its cost.
