multiple ISP through 7800DXL

Hi,

I have two ISP connections - one Virgin Cable modem and one ADSL. I know I can connect one to EWAN and one to DSL, but I'm unclear how they then co-exist. Can they both be connected at once, with some sort of routing policy? Or can only one be a gateway, and can the other auto take over if the first goes down (I see auto fail-over as a feature of the 7800DXL, but it looked like that might only be to LTE/3G)

many thanks
Dave

The router will only perform failover/fallback between WAN's.

To use this feature setup both WAN connections, then under 'Advanced Setup >> Routing >> Default Gateway' change the order of 'Selected Default Gateway Interfaces' to match your failover/fallback rules in order

Great, thanks. Well the EWAN and DSL connections are both WANs so I should be able to setup failover between them.

thanks
