GL-AR300M16-Ext WAN Priority

[Steve28]

I have set up both a working WAN connection using WIFI/Repeater as well as Ethernet/Cable. Which one of the two has priority for Internet access of a device connected e.g. to LAN? Is the prioriity configurable?
On a GL-A1300 in the Network/Multiple WAN section this is configurable even to the extent of failover between the two.

You can edit the /etc/config/mwan3 by logging in via SSH, or install the luci-app_mwan3 package that adds the function LuCI → Network → Load Balancing. The default priority order should be WAN, then WWAN, then Tethering, then Modem:

How to find active interface, does it prefer WAN over 4G?

Is there an easy way to find the active interface connected to the Internet? I’ve got a puli with a 4G SIM and also connected to my DSL router via the WAN port. If the WAN port disconnects, I see that the connection swaps to the 4G mobile connection (and the VPN re-connects). If I plug back in the WAN port to my DSL router, does the puli (or any other gl-inet device with dual WAN) switch back to the faster DSL. I guess what I’m asking is if the WAN port takes precedence over the 4G connectio…

Thank you or the quick response. I have decided now to use the GL-AR300M16-Ext only as an access to 2,4GHz WLAN using the external antenna connectors with an external antenna on the roof of my mobile home. The failover/prioritization I will do on my GL-A1300 which will also be used to span internal WLAN in my mobile home. I’ll describe the solution there.
