WAN port connections are reestablished, traffic automatically
returns. An additional gateway may also be connected to
the ZyWALL 2WE to ensure availability of the Internet through a
secondary local network. The ZyWALL 2WE backup features
increase reliability while decreasing device maintenance,
IT consulting costs, and daily operation losses.
Broadband Internet Access Sharing
