  • Without a secondary internet connection this isn’t possible.

    The router is the connection - its the gateway (a term we don’t hear much these days).

    You could setup an independent connection via a cell modem - becoming a secondary connection. This is common for remote locations or even small businesses that need a failover just for management.

    You could even have it on a single machine and have a vpn there. Then you could RDP/VNC to that one machine and manage things from there. I’ve done the VPN this way with Tailscale. One machine has it (I’ve even done it with a Raspberry Pi), then you can RDP/VNC to other machines from there.

    But there’s not much I could see you doing if the gateway is down anyway.
