I run two ISPs (one main, one failover) through my route 10. I was looking for a way to set SMS alerts through the router and discovered that this currently isn’t an option. I’ll check feature requests to see if this has already been requested or not. Until Alta Labs decides to offer this feature I’ve found my own solution and I thought I’d post it here in case it could help someone else.
I run a program called Uptime Kuma in a docker container to monitor my various services. It dawned on me I could probably use this to monitor my connection as well. So, I set it up to ping the public ip of my main connection on 60s intervals and report the status. Uptime has several options for setting up notifications. I was using the free pushbullet option, but I reached my monthly limit so I switched the notifications to Telegram and it works perfectly.
I realize this may not be a solution for some people, but if you can implement this it will work for you as well.
Here is a link to Uptime if you’re interested. I’ve also provided some screen shots and took my media server down and brought it back up to use as an example.
