3-4 Fail Over
WAN failure detection works by detecting the presence of traffic on the 3G modem link. If the link is idle for too long the router will attempt to ping a target IP address. If the ping does not reply, the router assumes the link is down and attempts to fail over to Ethernet WAN link.

| priority of WAN connection. |
Note: The router will not connect back to the first priority of Internet connection once it has already failed over to another one.
