I was poking around for a USB C 5G/LTE modem that I can run either off my laptop or plug into my router as a secondary WAN. Has anyone messed with something like this?

The secondary WAN is common, but I usually need some sort of DC power input instead of a single USB C cable that I can put into my laptop.

I've used GLinet but I find I have to power cycle them every day or so to keep working. Otherwise they're cheap and workable. Probably wouldn't trust them as a backup link.
