FritzOver-Gateway
FritzOver-Gateway is a python script, which changes the default route of a specific NIC if FritzBox fails link or ping.
I wrote this script because of my current ISP situation: My ISP currently does some maintenance and the connection drops for a few hours a day. Luckily, I've got a ThinkPad x230 with an UMTS module set up in my LAN. If the conneciton over fritzbox fails, the script changes the default gateway to my x230. 
Tech
FritzOver-Gateway uses following open-source projects:
- fritzconnection - Python-Tool to communicate with the AVM FritzBox
