WAN Failover

On the Connections Setup / 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 Connections Setup / WAN Reservation page, move the Enable switch to the right, and
specify the needed values in the fields displayed on the page.
