| Apr 13, 2018 at 1:26 | comment | added | Igor Chulkov | I would totally buy it. You can make it really simple. A couple or relays that mechanically route from one port to another. If it has 100 times less components than a network switch then it will be MUCH more reliable. You can even use military grade components. I would totally buy it even for 1000 bucks. It should exist for the same reason ATS switch exist. They are very simple devices and don't fail that often as network switches. If I wasn't so lazy I would probably design/order such devices and start selling. | |

(It's not like a electrical ATS that just sees voltage.) That intelligence then introduces new electronics and software that can fail, thus canceling out any added benefit of the ATS. This type of ATS could be created, but nobody would buy it, therefore it is not created, manufactured, distributed, and sold at stores. | |

| Apr 4, 2018 at 3:00 | comment | added | Igor Chulkov | Thanks user3629081. I understand how to make it work with 2 uplinks. I need to make it redundant with 1 uplink. Disregard ISPs router and uplink's reliability. | |
