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 .

    I have T-Mobiles Internet @Home, and CTL fiber both routed into my OpenWrt router, configured to do fail over

    My primary is 200/200 fiber, and uses 5G as failover.

    I host my VPN on a small vps, with nginx proxy manager, it routes my service’s back to my router using wireguard

    My openwrt router is a Pi 4 operating as a “router on a stick” currently, I use an Aruba 2920 switch to achieve this but can also be done with usb Ethernet adapters.

    I hear MicoTik has some good cheap hardware and is extremely powerful router capable of the same things at reasonable price, but my openwrt has worked for me for many years.
