Good day,
I have 109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN wireless router switch. WAN is supplied through ETH1, with a LAN connection to a fiber to the home ONT box (I have no access to it). I obtain the internet connection via PPPoE to the ISP via a VLAN.
The PPPoE/fiber connection is not as reliable as I would like, so I have a watchdog running pinging 8.8.8.8 with a reboot if there is no reply. Rebooting the router sometimes speeds up the link recovery. Recently even the ONT has started crashing and as I am on a residential contract the FTTH infrastructure provider (different to the PPPoE ISP) is not likely to replace the ONT. I can recover by manually power cycling the ONT, or by telling the infrastructure provider to reset it remotely.
Thus, I want to set up an internet connection failover to another internet connection provided wirelessly by another router, a VDSL modem from another ISP. If I am on site this will allow me to continue my work while the fiber connection is restored, and if I am not on site I can reboot my MikroTik router remotely, or request an ONT reset from the FTTH provider.
Is it possible to use the wireless capability of my MikroTik switch to establish an on-demand bridge to the wireless router while maintaining its function as a wireless AP? If I cannot maintain both the bridge and the AP at the same time, I also have MikroTik HAP AC2 that I can bridge to the VDSL router permanently, and use it to provide internet connectivity through ETH7 for example, on demand.
