My USB dongle can supply wireless, so if Internet goes out, I plug in the USB stick and service my wireless computers
The dongles work great, that is what I used to have. Where I use the fail-over router is my cottage. I have remote monitoring equipment there. The switchover needs to be automatic for me, or drive 2 hours to connect the dongle :-)

Thanks guys.
I have planned to buy a normal netgear router and set it up with USB dongle as primary internet and then plug the netgear router to the wan of dlink firewall/router.
Hope it will work. Will let you know guys if i encounter any problems with this.

I don't believe you can use the USB dongle on any router. The fact that a router has a USB port has nothing to do with Internet access.
Agreed . As noted earlier, the dongle will not install. There is no applicable system on a router

Hi,
There are few models which Telstra Router supports. Like devg2020
They support dongle wan. So after configuring internet in it. Planning to attach to dlink router in wan 2 and make it as failover

You need something like this, but make sure it is compatible with your 4G service provider:
https://www.netgear.com/service-providers/products/mobile/lte-gateways/mbr1516.aspx
If you want to use it for failover, connect its Ethernet port to a LAN port of the Dlink. The Dlink will be primary. You do need to configure it as such in the Netgear set up web page.

Hi guys, sorry am just waiting for the new router which is compatible with 4g to come in for me. So will update once I get it. Possibly today
No problem. Good luck with it

I disagree. As per Experts-Exchange documentation (somewhere) "sometimes you can't do that, is the correct answer".
