GPy LTE and WiFi - How to determine priority

[fausto.milletari]

Dear community,

I have a question about GPy and LTE + WiFi connectivity.

I would like to connect the board to BOTH WiFi and LTE in a way that WiFi is preferred for routing and, in case wifi connectivity is absent or limited, LTE kicks in.

The obvious reason behind this is that I would like my devices to be always connected, even when WiFi is maybe reconnecting or the user's connection is down; but at the same time I want to save as much LTE traffic volume as possible.

Thanks for any suggestion!

As mentioned in the other thread https://forum.pycom.io/topic/6204/fipy-how-to-send-data-via-simultaneous-connected-with-both-wi-fi-and-lte-nb-iot-cat-m/2 there is no great support to be simultaneously connected to both. If your use case is about resilience/fallback then you could detect the loss of connectivity and when needed tear down the primary connection and init the fallback connection
