Gateway->router->switch

I don't know much about cellular gateways, but if you're using your own router/wifi make sure the gateway can do passthrough/bridge mode and isn't doing any routing or wifi.

Awesome, thank you. The gateway does have a pass through option so will make sure to enable that setting.

How far out in the sticks are you, and what kind of speed is your provider promising? I'm curious as I may be looking at a more rural property, and even wired Xfinity is only willing to commit to 3Mb in one of the areas I'm looking at.

Way out, lol. There are no wired internet options, only satellite or cellular and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Luckily we have a Verizon tower very close. I have not purchased the plan yet so not sure about speeds. I’ve heard nightmares about Hughsnet and I’m not paying for Viasat or Starlink.
