In today's video I'll be upgrading my home network with a 5G backup internet connection using a Teltonika RUTC50 router acting as a transparent modem to provide a secondary 5G WAN connection to my MikroTik RB5009 router that I can fail over to if my primary fibre connection ever goes down. We'll take a look at the hardware, talk about various different options for SIM cards, take a run through of the software configuration and then finally install the completed system in my attic and test it out!
