What are you using as secondary Internet?

I use the GUI to fail over. The script does not have any impact

What are you using as secondary Internet?

1GB cable modem connection

1GB cable modem connection

And what's your Primary internet? I'm asking since my setup as primary is Xfinity ISP (modem and Asus router) and my secondary is TMHI (5G Gateway).

This may be similar to your issue but you're not using USB as secondary and this thread was using stock firmware Dual-wan so just a thought but will depend on what you're using so the more info you provide the better:

GT-Ax6000 running 3006.102.4
Primary is 1 GB fiber connection with cable modem based (Spectrum) 1 Gb for secondary.
Add Ons: AMTM 6.0.2 Diversion 5.4.5, SkyNet 7.6.4, Scribe 3.2.1, uiScribe 1.4.5, Unbound 3.25, BackupMon 1.8.22

Sometimes options of the script, specifically manual failover, seem to run to completion there is no change in the configuration. Others run and post the "failover not enabled, See Logs message". I only saw the cron job posted once, and I have no idea what I did to make that happen, as the script hangs. At no time have I had a hot standby, even when I reverse the positions and put the fiber ONT on the secondary port which suggests. I get log postings of "wan connected" occasionally and those events don't kick off the wan-event script.

Could there be a difference in downloading from AMTM or using the command line?

It's best to download thru AMTM. However it's best if you enable debug logs and submit it thru Github for further assistance.

Enable debug logs:

Uncheck the ping box....the readme for the script explicitly states all of the options need to be turned off to allow the script to take over functionality.

Well after testing using a minimal config I found the cable modem NEVER gets an IP as the standby in failover mode. It never went into and maintained hot-standby status. If I set the dual WAN to load balance and then install the WF script, everything works as expected. I believe the issue is the cable modem is expecting and not getting some status or signal. I ruled out DNS, NTP - and the cable modem techs are by-the-book-Bob official KB oriented so no help there. I'm good with the availability insurance I have in this configuration.

Hi @Ranger802004 , I’m having issues with the wan-failover script on my RT-AX86U (updated to the latest Merlin firmware). Every now and then I find the script in an “unresponsive” state, apparently without any specific reason. I’m attaching the log (I anonymized it, so please ignore the fake IPs). Along with this, I’m also running several other scripts (spdmerlin, connmon, ntpmerlin, etc.). Can you figure out where the problem is? Thanks a lot!
