Sadly, this is entirely an Asus problem and really only can be fixed by them.Native watchdog and ping to internet is not working for me at all on latest betas. My router is not switching to secondary wan when primary is down because of weather and other problems. Tried lots of times - nothing happends.
I badly need proper script for dual wan switching. So i am waiting for any news on this very much.
I doubt that even a better shell script coder than I am can outmanouver the wanduck and other services and hack together a script that works better than what the Taiwanese cobbled together to make this unreliable mess.
@john9527 has put his mind to it recently and I thank him for his efforts, but I see no difference in behaviour.
Dual WAN works best if the wire is pulled from the off-internet device. Then the router is faced with a simple decision.
Wanduck probing, recently introduced by Asus is a joke. What good is probing the microsoft.com server every two seconds if it does not put in motion the right procedure to switch over when probing fails?
Still, I like my routers and they work very well and I am in the comfortable position to have extremely reliable providers here. Internet uptime for both ISP's is very close to 100%.
