@s4mmy. My issue exactly.

Thanks @DCooper. Agree that an ethernet connected Cellular device is a good solution to the issue. Also good to know that Cisco is favouring Viptela in advanced SD-WAN solutions. Does that mean Meraki SD-WAN development will become a low priority?

Hi Blake, Cellular certainly works as a primary if nothing is plugged into WAN1/2. The scenario I want to exploit is an internet connection on WAN1 and potentially also WAN2 with the Cellular connection treated as a WAN 3 if you like. Configuration-wise, I'd want to be able to select "Cellular" from the "Primary Uplink" dropdown menu or as an uplink option in Load-balancing rules. I hope that makes sense.

Hi, Is there any plan for Cellular connections to be available as connection equal to the other WAN ports as opposed to fail-over only? This is probably more of a question for a Meraki Rep, as it's obvious from the Dashboard that there are limitations with Cellular use, however I'm curious if others are interested in this feature. The use case may not be relevant for all markets, however in regional Australia where Fibre is not available (or is very expensive) and ADSL is slower than 4G Cellular, it would be handy to use SD-WAN features (i.e. Load Balancing/VPN) on, for example, an ADSL and a 4G Cellular connection where Cellular is not a second class citizen. We have customers that are in this situation. Also, are there any plans for additional load-balancing mechanisms in the future (e.g. bandwidth overflow). Thanks in advance. EDIT: I've also raised this as a support case / make a wish.
