Single vs. dual offline detection: what's the difference, exactly?

Hi folks,
I recently picked up a TL-Link MR100 (mistake - should have gone for the MR6400 given the small price difference!).
I purchased the router in order to provision a backup/failover 4G/LTE connection as the one my ISP provides can be shaky.
My original plan was to wire both routers into a load balancer (which is why I didn't opt for a higher end cellular router with more LAN ports).
However as I noticed that there was a WAN port on it, I looked into the documentation -- and was delighted to see that the router can be used in router mode with the cellular connection as a backup to the one being brought in over WAN.
This is now how I have things set up. The 4G connection is providing backup to the primary ISP line connected over WAN.
The only setting I'm not sure about is "offline detection." I'm given two options "Single detection" and "dual detection." But I can't find any reference to either in the user manual.
Can somebody describe what these mean? And in the way I'm using the router which might be more appropriate?
Thank you!
Have you tried searching in the context help menu:
I am only guessing, but it could mean the way that the router detects if it's offline e.g. DNS resolution of a popular domain or DNS resolution and ping test of a popular domain.
