Failover & Failback
Auto failover/failback ensures always-online network connectivity. When primary WAN link (WAN1)
fails, all traffic will switch over to the backup WAN (WAN2) seamlessly.
Again, when the primary link is restored, traffic will be handled over from WAN2 to WAN1.
WAN Port Service Detection Policy
WAN1 (Primary): Choose a desired WAN as the primary WAN Link from the list.
WAN2 (Backup): Choose a desired WAN as the backup WAN Link from the list.
Keep Backup Interface Connected: Select the following option whether to keep the backup WAN
(WAN2) interface connected to the Internet.
 Disable: Inactivate this feature.
 Always: Keep the backup WAN (WAN2) interface always connected to the Internet
 By Signal Strength: Enable and initiate automatic backup WAN to connect to the Internet at
all time until the RSRP / RSSI of primary WAN is greater than the Minimum RSRP / RSSI.
◼
Minimum RSRP / RSSI: Set a minimum requirement for RSRP and RSSI for the primary
WAN. Value range from -111 ~ -5. 0 means don't care/no need to check this value.
NOTE: Both the RSRP and RSSI cannot be 0 at the same time.
Connectivity Decision & Probe Cycle: Set a number of times and time in seconds to determine
when to switch to the backup link (WAN2) when primary link (WAN1) fails and vice versa.
Example, Auto failover takes place after straight 3 consecutive failures in every 30 seconds meaning
all traffic will hand over to backup link (WAN2) after primary link fails to response in total of 90 seconds,
30 seconds for 3 consecutive failures.
Note: Failover and Failback follow the same Connectivity Decision & Probe Cycle rule to failover from WAN1 to WAN2
or fallback from WAN2 to WAN1.
