Two suggestions about dual-wan (failover mode):
1) If you unplug the primary wan cable, it fails over properly. However, going into the web admin page and disabling the primary WAN connection in the network map screen DOES NOT trigger a failover. The system should immediately failover if the primary connection is disabled and the secondary is enabled.
2) While running off the primary wan, the secondary wan shows "cold standby" and doesn't get an IP address. It's hard to tell for sure that the secondary connection is working, and you can't ping or access the modem on the other side of the secondary connection in this state. However, if you unplug the primary WAN cable, it will still fail over as expected. I'd really like it to stay in hot standby mode at all times.
 
Don't waste your time. Dual WAN on Asus doesn't work properly. Unless you are planning to play with cables to trigger failover/failback. Read the multiple threads around with possible solutions, if you really need reliable Dual WAN failover. If you don't - just use the better ISP connection.
