4G Router connection to Gargoyle Router

[pickerd1]

My present home office network is as follows:
Internet connection: 4G (limited to 70GB - 1x 50GB SIM + 1x 20GB SIM)
(This is considerably better than any land based connection in my area)
Modem / router: Huawei B593 providing WLAN and LAN connection into my homeplug network
Phone: VOIP using the same 4G connection

During some months the 70Gb is used by download etc leaving me without a phone and also upsetting those users who haven't downloaded excessively.

It seems that one way to resolve this is to use a router with Gargoyle installed as this provides a quota management by IP address facility.
Is this correct?

How to set this up is the question?

My Huawei isn't a Gargoyle supported router - unless someone knows otherwise?

Therefore my present idea is to connect the Huawei to a Gargoyle compatible router (TP-Link TL-WDR3600 seems a good candidate).

Will this work? Any tips?

Should I connect LAN to LAN or LAN to WAN? I think the former as I only need one network IP address.

An ideal solution would be a dual SIM 4G router that supports Gargoyle!!!

Any other ideas?

Yes. Is done by setting static IP's in DHCP section. Quite easy to do.

I have 4G and do not know of a firmware that also does quotas for 3G/4G connections. I have looked into this and was advised memory space for a combined firmware is the main problem.

Use a Gargoyle router in bridging mode to another modem that has your 4G devices plugged in.

After doing some research and through personal experiences, look at the Netgear WNDR3800 to flash with gargoyle and this magic router firmware (http://ofmodemsandmen.com/supported.html) for a 4G device. I have it working in a TP-Link WDR3600 and works GREAT!!!

Just bumping this thread, as I have a similar query to the OP. Does anyone know of a 4G router that is Gargoyle-compatible (i.e. to avoid multiple devices)?

The main functions that I need are:
1) Bandwidth quotas; and
2) Remote management.
