Redundancy for RB750G ... best approach?

Wed Feb 24, 2021 3:27 am

I have a RouterBoard 750G which I housed in a 19" rack using the dual 19" rackmount case (the right slot is empty).

I installed it 4 years ago and so far it works nicely.

However, it is in a remote spot. There is someone who can do basic things but it is very hard for myself to get there. Anything breaking would be a super GAU, specifically since nothing works without the router (no remote access to the other systems). So I am getting worried and I am wondering what is the best was to make this a bit safer.
  • Unfortunately the 750G is deprecated and can't be bought any more (for a cold-spare). Shall I try to get a used one? Or which device would be recommended that is compatible but not crazy expensive and fits the rackmount case?
  • The rackmount case unfortunately only has one power supply and power is connected internally. Issue 1: Switching to cold spare would require opening the case and reconnecting the supply. Hard for someone non-technical. Issue 2: If the power supply breaks then it's still super GAU.
What would you do?
