Hello

the router is configured as a gateway and it works perfecly with the sim1.

I have read that it is possible to switch sim based on the RSSI, however I am interested in a different scenario: when sim1 has finished the montly quota then the provider will block the traffic (but RSSI will remain good). How can I detect that and, based on that event, switch the sim to sim2?

Thanks

from the documentation, the account balance of the master SIM card is insufficient, the router will switch to the backup APN.

Not sure if this would work. When the quota is reached the traffic is not blocked, instead the speed is downgraded from 300Mbit/s to few kbits/s.
I doubt that this would be detected, because the internet connection will continue to work, but slowly.

Another solution could be to switch the sim from a remote device: I have an access point in the network that keeps network counters, I could write a script that connects to the AR502 and switches the sim. However, I am not sure that this can be done.
