Dual wan and Fail over questions

Radorix

New Around Here
I work for a small-ish AV company anyway over the last few years av has truly merged. Anyway what I'm trying to accomplish for a customer who had bought a Asus ac68u already is a dual wan with automatic fail over and recovery. Main is 30mb Comcast fail is Verizon dsl so slow that if you ask me isn't even worth keeping .8mb DL anyway. I was there today finishing the rest of the theater install and was surprised when I found that the fail over is anything but hands off as I had seen the features in my own ac66u.

What it was doing was it would only fail over from the Comcast with a power interruption if I just unscrewed the coax it would stay on the primary wan. Then my other issue became if it was on the DSL and I brought back up the cable it wouldn't switch back to the primary wan.

Customer has never had the functionality of dual wan before has always just connected to the DSL as a standalone network and used it to feed certain equipment in his distributed audio equipment. Thanks for any help I decided to use your forum merlin BC I loaded one of your builds on his as I've loved your builds on my Asus and was hoping for it to be fixed on your build. As a second customer wants us to basically do the same thing but with a mifi and dsl
 
Failure to switch back to primary on recovery is a long-standing issue. I know Asus has recently implemented code for some kind of heartbeat, but I don't know if it can be configured effectively to handle switching back to primary. Take a look at its configuration under Dual Wan.
