Hello guys
i have one question of possibility…
Mikrotik routerboard 1000 outdoor type have USB port that’s why it possible to use 3G cellular connection so i thought is it possible to use redundancy? If primary port down, switch to 3G connection automatically.
Thanks

There is nothing built-in to do this automatically. You must write your own scripts to switch between various connections when 1 or the other goes down.
It`s simple. You can use routing distance value. Add both default routes with different distance. Route with low distance will be work. Additionally you can enable ping-check on routes. Good luck
you dont need scripts for that
I don’t think it is so clear-cut as you don’t need script for that. There are cases when you would need scripts.
But here is a good guide how to configure failover without scripting:

Also, I don’t think there is a RB 1000 for outdoor, or am I missing something?
maybe he put an rb1000 in an outdoor box and it’s called Mikrotik routerboard 1000 outdoor type 
Maybe he meant that USB plug is outside of the case. So users can just plug 3G, 4G dongles. Btw, it would be better if ROS supports WiMax dongles.
