This old Galaxy phone became my third WAN port, and it actually works
There is a widespread assumption that if you want a reliable home network and maximum homelab uptime, you get a secondary internet connection. I did the same. When my homelab grew, I got a secondary line and routed everything through my ER605's dual-WAN setup. The setup worked as expected: the secondary backup line took over when the primary had an outage. But then I noticed something else: I had another connection on my secondary Galaxy phone, sitting mostly idle. I was paying for a plan I barely used. That was when I decided tomake that idle plan earn its keep.
