Hello,
Telco often provide and maintain an ONT to terminate their fiber Internet access services.
This ONT has a single fiber uplink port and a single Gigabit downlink port.
In my quest for higher resilience, I can subscribe to a second Internet access and install two routers
but if a router ever fails, one Internet access is lost.
How can I work around this and connect each ONT to both routers (of course, at most only one connection
is active at any given point in time) ?
I there some hardware that provides one Ethernet continuity when powered off and provides another Ethernet path when powered-on (*) ?
Shall I simply plus a Y-cable (one end in ONT, one end on each router) and "disable" the Ethernet port on the router ?
Best regards
(*) Years ago, BeroNet sold Fail Over Switches that could do that for Ethernet or TDM links
