3-5-5 Fail Over

WAN failure detection works by detecting the presence of traffic on the 3G modem link. If
the link is idle for too long, the router will attempt to ping a target IP address. If the ping
does not reply, the router assumes the link is down and attempts to fail over to the
Ethernet WAN link.
