Cellular Connection for Backup / SMS sending

[albertjmulder]

So, it would be nice to have a new Model come out that would allow for the install of a SIM card to be used for a backup connection if the internet goes down,

So it will always be connected to WIFI, but if it can't detect the internet, it switches data to be sent out via cel data.

Also if a sim is installed, then use the SMS to send unlimited SMS.

This way we can take care of 3 feature with one item.
Gives us failover if internet goes out.
Gives us unlimited SMS capability (no 10 per day limit anymore)
This would also give remote locations without internet the ability to use HE for security.

You may be able to find someone on the Merlin forums to guide you. Good luck. Do remember, your network security should be your first goal. Few people realize just how often a second their router is scanned from the Internet just looking for a way in.
