Arduino to switch router connected to Mikrotik router

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hi All
I have a home based Mikrotik hAP router and all PCs and wifi phones in the home connect to the Mikrotik.

I also have 2 x LTE Routers - different providers, that give uncapped access at different times of the day.

The Mikrotik is set to switch between router at 2 preset times.

But I would prefer to have better manual control over the choice of which router is used.

How could I use an Arduino ( I can program to register a button press or state of a toggle switch ) to switch between 2 LTE routers.

Would I need 8 separate relays to switch over the RJ45 connection from 1 router to the other ?

Or is there a single pin that activates that connection ?

The power connection.

I was wanting to leave the power to the LTE routers on.

Don't want to wait for a router to need to boot up and then wait for it to connect just to find out it is slower at a certain time of day
