probe interval
specifies how often the router will ping the IP address used in the ping server.

failover threshold
specifies how many times the pings must fail in order for the router to
failover to wan2. The
Recovery Threshold
specifies how many pings must be successful for
wan1 to be considered up. Leave the

Changes
checked. Leave the

box unchecked. Click
