This chart compares the features of each of the routers we recommend for our 3G Failover Solutions. If your current router is failover-capable, you can choose between the CBR450 or CBA750 - these "network adapters" will connect directly to your existing network via ethernet. If you do NOT currently have a failover-capable router, you will need to choose between the Peplink Balance 20, Peplink Balance 30, Cradlepoint MBR95, Cradlepoint MBR1400 or Cradlepoint ARC MBR1400* - these routers will REPLACE your existing router and will allow you to connect both your primary Internet connection as well as the 3G failover modem and will automatically fail over to the 3G modem when your primary connection goes down.

*The ARC MBR1400 is an MBR1400 router that includes a "modem cap" which has a built in 3G modem chip and includes 2 cellular antennas for improved signal. The router itself is the same - the difference is that with the MBR1400 by itself, you will need to use the 3G USB modem for the failover service; with the ARC MBR1400, the included modem cap will take the place of the separate USB modem.
