Hi there, I read your offer carefully and understand that you need a custom 4G/5G and Ethernet WAN router with a physical pause switch that blocks internet traffic instantly while keeping the LAN Ethernet link active. I can support the hardware architecture, PCB design, cellular modem integration, Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, power system, status indicators, firmware, and Linux/OpenWrt-based networking. My experience with embedded systems, Ethernet hardware, communication interfaces, PCB design, and firmware development is well suited to this project. The pause function can be implemented at the network-routing level so connectivity is blocked without dropping the physical Ethernet link. I can also support source selection, failover, documentation, BOM, and prototype development. Just send me a message and we can discuss the technical details. Best regards, Samuel Tshibangu

Hi, I see you need to implement Ethernet Flow Control / network traffic pausing on your ETH WAN router setup. With over 15 years of experience in Embedded Linux, OpenWRT, and low-level network programming, I can deliver a clean and robust solution for this requirement. How I can help you with this project: • Implement IEEE 802.3x Ethernet Flow Control / MAC-layer PAUSE frame handling to halt traffic. • Create reliable user-space/kernel-space scripts or C daemons to trigger and schedule network pauses. • Leverage my background in router board bring-ups (11+ boards completed) and custom Linux kernel datapaths. I have extensive full-time experience in C, Linux network sockets, firewall, luci cmd and ui, eBPF/XDP, and OpenWRT firmware engineering, making me an ideal fit to handle your routing traffic requirements safely and efficiently. Let's connect in the chat to discuss your router hardware specs and project timeline! Best regards, Amitesh Kumar

Hello, I am a Linux System Administrator with 2+ years of experience in Linux administration, networking, shell scripting, production support, and incident management. I understand your requirement for a custom 4G/5G and Ethernet WAN router with a physical internet pause/resume switch while keeping the Ethernet link active. I have experience working with Linux networking, routing, firewall configuration, and troubleshooting, and I am familiar with OpenWrt/Linux-based environments. I can assist with firmware configuration, network setup, testing, documentation, and integration. I am committed to delivering reliable, well-documented work with clear communication throughout the project. I would like to discuss your hardware platform, preferred cellular module (Quectel/SIMCom/Fibocom), OpenWrt requirements, and any specific networking features before starting. I am available to begin immediately and will work closely with you to achieve the required functionality and ensure stable, long-term performance.

We recently helped a client achieve a robust dual-WAN embedded router with instant hardware-controlled internet cut-off — and judging by your post, it sounds like we could do the same for you. We've worked on custom embedded networking devices and would love to bring that experience to your project. From your post, it sounds like you're looking for something seamless, specifically around a physical hardware internet pause switch that immediately stops internet forwarding while keeping the Ethernet PHY/link active, plus dual 4G/5G (Nano SIM) and Ethernet WAN selection with gigabit LAN output. We specialize in embedded systems, PCB design, cellular modem integration (Quectel/SIMCom/Fibocom), Ethernet networking, and Linux/OpenWrt firmware, and we have 75+ 5-star reviews on similar projects and rank in the top 1% among 75 million users! Proposed approach: design a modular PCB with a certified cellular module, WAN/LAN PHYs and switch ASIC to maintain link while disabling forwarding via MCU-controlled packet path, USB-C power, LED indicators, BOM, firmware, prototype, full source code and documentation. I would love to help you with your project! The worst that can happen is you walk away with free consultation. Regards, Shannon.
