Hello, I have a Spitz X3000 running firmware 0701release3. I have both SIM card slots loaded with SIM cards. I also have a wireguard vpn client connected at all times. The issue is if I switch the active SIM card using the web interface (SIM Card Slot Settings) with a WAN (eth0) connection as my #2 priority for failover, it does not switch back to using data from modem\_0001 after switching between cellular sim cards and the modem comes back online; and instead continues to route all data through my WAN (eth0) connection. The priority order for my Multi-WAN is as follows: ```auto kmwan.wan.metric='2' kmwan.wwan.metric='5' kmwan.tethering.metric='4' kmwan.wan6.metric='2' kmwan.wwan6.metric='5' kmwan.tethering6.metric='4' kmwan.modem_0001.metric='1' kmwan.modem_0001_6.metric='1' kmwan.secondwan.metric='3' kmwan.secondwan6.metric='3' ``` I have observed data from LuCi still rapidly ticking up with usage on WAN (eth0) after the modem is connected (and see only kilobytes of data usage after a period of time from the modem). If I execute /etc/init.d/kmwan restart (after modem is reconnected to new cell network) it appears to resolve this issue. Please advise! ---

Hello bruce! Hope all is well. Not sure what solution/information I'm supposed to catch there? I am aware that new connections (should) be routed over any uplink available, based on priority in Multi-Wan (and having Failover selected, not 'load balanced'). I have observed traffic in LuCi for over an hour, and even generated new data streams (i.e., streaming via phone or browser after a period of time and force-closing/reopening apps). Unfortunately, the modem is not generating traffic, at all. It remains in the low-kilobytes of usage even after an hour. I have however observed what appears to be all of that traffic going over WAN (eth0). My cellular connection stays at 4G and no data usage. If I then run '/etc/init.d/kmwan restart', almost immediately you see cellular traffic start going up, and my cellular connection goes to 5G (on a Verizon network). Things then work as expected, and NO traffic over my WAN (eth0) as expected. ---

Hello, Just following up with this issue. Has anyone been able to reproduce these results? Any help is appreciated! ---

Please upgrade the firmware to v4.7.4. When the high-priority interface back to work, 1hour later, but the Mutil WAN did not restore to use the high-priority interface, please SSH to the router, execute `conntrack -F`, to see if it backs to work. ---

Hello bruce, No, that has had no impact on the issue. The output of that is: ```auto root@GL-X3000:~# conntrack -F conntrack v1.4.6 (conntrack-tools): connection tracking table has been emptied. ``` Unfortunately, cellular usage remains at near zero (82 KB after an hour) and all traffic is still going over WAN (eth0). I have 21 devices on the network, so it's easy to know which way data is being routed pretty quickly. Please advise and thank you! ---

Hello, Please wait a while, I ask the R&D to check this question. Update: Could you please share your router with us via GoodCloud? R&D would like to check the router environment/situation remotely, since we have not reproduced this issue on the lab, necessary to manage a remote check. Please PM me the router MAC and the Web UI login password. > **[Technical support via GoodCloud - GL.iNet Router Docs 4](https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/tutorials/technical_support_via_goodcloud/)** > > Documentation for GL.iNet Router Productions ---
