CONNECTION MANAGER
The router can establish an uplink via Ethernet, WiFi as WAN, or 3G/4G modems (removable or external USB). If the
primary WAN connection fails, the router will automatically attempt to bring up a new link on another device: this
feature is called failover. If Load Balance is enabled, multiple WAN devices may establish a link concurrently.
WAN INTERFACE PROFILES & PRIORITY
This is a list of the available interfaces used to access the Internet. You can enable, stop, or start devices from this
section. Drag the priority icon ( ) up or down to set the interface the router uses by default and the order that it
allows failover.
Availability Key
Enable
Standby
STANDBY
Standby is used to decrease failover time from one WAN interface to another. When Standby is enabled for a WAN
profile or interface, the relevant interfaces are kept in a connected-but-idle (minimal, non-routed traffic) state. When
the current WAN connection is disrupted, the traffic will failover to the next priority WAN. If that interface is on
Standby, the connection is already established and failover will take much less time.
Note that the current connected interface(s) is/are indicated by a green connection state. For interfaces on Standby,
the interface is indicated by a yellow connection state. If the interface is indicated in red, the interface is not currently
connected or in Standby.
Standby is used to enable faster failover times only. If you want to manage traffic to a specific WAN interface, you
will need to use WAN Affinity. If WAN Affinity is enabled for a particular profile or interface, do not enable Standby for
that profile or interface as the failover results may vary and be unexpected.
