Dual WAN
From the Dual WAN tile, configure network failover settings.
Dual WAN lets you use two WAN ports on the router in redundancy mode. If WAN1 loses
internet access, WAN2 will take over.
To configure Dual WAN:
1. Go to the Advanced tab > Dual WAN, then choose whether to enable Dual WAN
and/or Fail over.
a. Enable Dual WAN - Enable a second WAN but no failover.
b. Enable Failover - Turn on/off fail over functionality for second WAN.
With Failover enabled, when WAN1 is no longer able to get onto the internet it will
switch over to WAN2. After the router detects that WAN1 is back up, it will switch
back to WAN1.
2. Under each WAN, choose how and when the primary WAN should switch to the
failover WAN.
a. Health Monitor Interval. Choose how frequently (in seconds) the WAN will
check connectivity to make sure that it is still up and running.
b. Health Monitor ICMP Host(s). Ping the WAN Gateway or DNS to check if
Internet connectivity has been lost.
c. Attempts Before WAN Recovery. Choose how many times the router should
ping the failed WAN before switching to the Failover.
3. Click Apply (at the top of the page) to finalize the settings.
4. The second WAN configuration displays on the Interfaces page.
