Failure Check (Advanced)
If this is enabled, the router will check that the highest priority active WAN interface can get to the Internet even if the WAN connection is not actively being used. If the interface goes down, the router will switch to the next
highest priority interface available. If this is not selected, the router will still failover to the next highest priority interface but only after the user has attempted to get out to the Internet and failed.

Monitor while connected: (Default: Off) Select from the following dropdown options:
∙Passive DNS (modem only): The router will take no action until data is detected that is destined for the WAN. When this data is detected, the data will be sent and the router will check for received data for 2 seconds. If no data is received the router behaves as described below under Active DNS.
∙Active DNS (modem only): A DNS request will be sent to the DNS servers. If no data is received, the DNS request will be retried 4 times at

∙Off: Once the link is established the router takes no action to verify that it is still up.
Ping IP Address: If you selected ―Active Ping‖, you will need to input an IP address. This must be an address that can be reached through your WAN connection (modem/Ethernet). Some ISPs/Carriers block certain addresses, so choose an address that all of your WAN connections can use. For best results, select an established public IP address.
For example, you might ping Google Public DNS at 8.8.8.8 or Level 3 Communications at 4.2.2.2.
