How Internet Failover Works

How cellular backup keeps a business online, and where FAILOVER5 fits.

How Failover Works

1

Add a cellular backup path

A cellular connection is added alongside your primary internet as a standby path.

2

Monitor the primary connection

Your router continuously checks whether the primary internet connection is available.

3

Automatic failover at the network edge

If the primary connection fails, traffic is automatically routed over cellular.

4

Automatic return when restored

When the primary connection is restored, traffic switches back automatically.
