Description
The BCM50a Integrated Router uses the connection
with the lowest metric value first.
The default WAN connection is 1 as your broadband
connection through the WAN port must always be
your preferred method of accessing the WAN.
The default priority of the routes is WAN, Traffic
Redirect and then Dial Backup (dial backup does not
apply to all BCM50a Integrated Router models):
You have two choices for an auxiliary connection, in
the event that your regular WAN connection goes
down. If Dial Backup is preferred to Traffic Redirect,
then type 14 in the Dial Backup Metric field (and
leave the Traffic Redirect Metric at the default of 15).
