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.
Figure 90. The Settings / WAN Failover page.
To activate the backup function, create several WAN connections. After that go to the Settings /
WAN Failover page, move the Enable switch to the right.
In the Connections IPv4 section, the existing IPv4 connections are displayed in order of their
priority. The first connection on the list serves as the main connection, the others are backup
connections.
To change the priority of a connection, left-click the relevant line in the table.
