Independent From Backup WANs setting

While working with a customer on a Pepwave MAX BR1, we found that the WiFi WAN connection was showing up differently than the other WAN connections and it also could not be moved to a different priority than 1.

We discovered that the setting found under the WAN “Details” (for any WAN interface) labeled “Independent from Backup WANs” was the cause and simply disabling the setting fixed it.

@evdovalerie, it was a feature introduced in firmware 7.0. The HelpText has the explanation.

Do you have any specific issue/question with it?

No, just thought it would be helpful to have it available for others who may be searching for an answer about this.

Thanks!
