I've been trying to use a Wifi-Ethernet adapter to set up a fallback WAN
route through my phone's 4G LTE connection for when our cable is down.
It hasn't been going well, not least because the WiFi-Ethernet adapter's
configuration appears to assume that *naturally* you will have it
directly plugged into your PC, not into a router port.


Anyone have a better idea?
