Settings / WAN Failover

On the Settings / WAN Failover page, you can enable the WAN backup function, which
provides you with uninterrupted access to the Internet. When your main connection breaks down,
the router activates the backup connection; and when the main channel is recovered, the router
switches to it and disconnects the reserve one.
To activate the backup function, create the main and the reserve WAN connections. After that go to
the Settings / WAN Failover page, move the Enable switch to the right, and specify the needed
values in the fields displayed on the page.
