5.2 Dual WAN Failover and Load Balancing

Configure multiple WAN connections to ensure continuous internet access. In a failover setup, if the primary WAN connection fails, the router automatically switches to a secondary connection. Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple active WAN links, optimizing bandwidth utilization and improving overall network performance.
