Network 2 (wlan0) Failover
The PremierWave XN intelligent gateway provides wlan0 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 Ethernet interface. If the remote host
is determined to be reachable, the device will failback to the Wi-Fi interface.
