Hi all,
New joiner but old lurker
We've been on BT FTTP for around 7 years without a single glitch in service however with costs being what they are, Sky were offering a slightly better package though reliability is yet to be seen!
Fast forward to today and it was activated. My setup is quite in-dept but the core principles is a Draytek 2860 router connected to two 24 port switches and then I have a number of wifi Ubiquiti APs connected to them (amongst a load of other devices)
So the first question is, do I need to change routers from the Draytek 2860 to something higher spec? BT worked fine but this was I believe upto 200mb/s whereas Sky is up to 515.
Ideally I want to add a 4G option for backup just to eliminate downtime given everything else has a redundancy from power to lights etc and so my option is if it does support it, I can get a dongle add-on or I can change altogether for another Draytek that already has built in sim option (unlikely due to cost), an upgraded model of what I have with an attached dongle (more like it) or change to a TP-Link Archer MR600 and move away from Draytek (for the first time in 10 years)
Thanks in advance!
