Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:
Failover only works when you turn off one of the devices, but not when one of the internet goes down. Companies that provide internet come with a GPON and a router. When the fiber signal in GPON drops, the tp-link router does not activate the backup link, as it identifies that the device is still connected. If I physically turn it off then yes it activates the backup link. Is there any configuration to resolve this? 

 

Remembering that this also happens with other models such as the TL-ER7206.

 

Thanks in advance for your attention!!!

Hi @Paulo_Beeny 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Explained in this KB: Common Questions About the Load Balancing, Link Backup(Failover) & Online Detection

Note that online detection is based on the reply. As long as the WAN can get the DNS query out and got replied, it'll be considered as online. Regardless of your speed or other problems.
