Connecting 2 ER605 at different physical locations for a failover
I have the following setup
Unit I
Two optic fibre ISPs connected to WAN1 and WAN2 of ER605. This LAN network is connected to LAN of Unit II using Ubiquiti Litebeam 5AC wirelessly.
Unit II
I have now setup a Wireless Broadand at Unit II. I wish to set this as a failover if the unit I optic fibre fails and provides internet to both unit I and unit II.
Please help.
Thanks in advance and best regards to all.

Hi @Raahul
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
Please upload a diagram of what you described.
Don't follow what you said.
You should connect whatever the Internet source to the WAN ports on the ER605 to get the load balance. Don't make any sense if you connect anything in ER605 LAN and try to get it load balance/failover.

Thanks very much for you reply.
You are absolutely right in suggesting connecting internet source to WAN port.
But as I mentioned my ER605 is installed at Localion 1 with optic fibre internet source connected to its WAN. The lan port provide internet connectivity and sharing to local LAN both for Location 1 and Location 2 (connected to location 1 wireless using ubiquit Litebeam 5AC).
My issue is this : I have wireless broadband AIrfibre connection at Location 2. I want this AIrfibre connection to provide internet at Location 1 in case of optic fibre failure at Location 1.
Hence I had requested help to find out is there any way out if I can use a second ER605 at location 2 by some means to provide internet connection to location 1 in case of a failure.
Thanks in advance for any help and best regards

Can you draw a diagram for me to show me how you implement this? What are the interfaces you gonna use?
I get it that you want to do a failover, but don't follow how you connect them together. I cannot make judgement or suggestions based on the current given information.
