8800NL Failover query

My GUI has a "WAN/Failover" section, but the manual does not mention how to use this so I'm a bit under informed here.

In the GUI what does "If selecting 3G/4G as the Master you will need to go to Configuration>WAN>WAN Service and edit the 3G/4G Interface, unchecking the Dial on demand Enabled field under Parameters at the top of the page." mean? What 3G/4G interface?

This is for a 3G/4G internet dongle, if used with the router, disabling the Dial on demand, will make the router use the 3G/4G dongle as the primary WAN interface. (with this setup the 4G dongle will be the master connection and the second WAN will be the slave failover WAN)

Hi,
But the 8800NL I thought only allows an EWAN failover, not a 3/4G dongle, so I'm still confused.

Cheers

Yes sorry that section is there for the 8800AXL that supports a 3G/4G back option, the only failover/fallback option on the 8800NL is between DSL and EWAN
