Network 1 (eth0) Failover
The PremierWave XN intelligent gateway provides WAN network failover, in the form of a "dead
remote host reachability" mechanism (essentially a ping against a known host). If the remote host
is determined to be not reachable, the device will failover to the Wi-Fi interface. If the remote host
is determined to be reachable, the device will failback to the Ethernet interface.
