Editing Failover Configuration
The router can use the active or passive mode to monitor the Internet availability in WAN. The default condition is
active mode.
Active mode can be type ICMP (ping) or TCP. ICMP periodically pings the designated host at the specified interval.
TCP tries to make a connection to the designated host at the interval specified.
For both ICMP and TCP, if a response is not received, the router switches to the WAN with lower priority. The
router continues to ping the designated host at the interval specified for WAN with the higher priority and
switches back when the ping is successful. When passive mode is enabled, the router switches the WANs when the
network interface is down. The currently active WAN is displayed on the home page under the label WAN
Transport.
