I don't think we have such a problem with this particular device.
Its default network configuration [1] has a dedicated WAN port within 
Ethernet switch thus I don't think the 3G modem is the main/only 
Internet connectivity available here.

I don't even think we have a device with just 3G/LTE/5G connectivity in 
our repository. There is always some Ethernet and/or USB on the other 
"end". And with tools like [2] it's now easier for the end user to get 
release/snapshot image with additional packages embedded.
