I will test pinging manually using an app after bundlesare deleted. I will give feedback on results.
I will test this today using a pinging app and give feedback
Is there a way to make the router ping www.google.com?
Yes, by changing the target IP within the failover settings (→ Interface Status Tracking Method.)
But it will be still just some ping, not HTTP or anything else.
Better use IP instead of domain, because domain can be not resolved if dns server is not configured correctly.

So I've depleted bundles (to simulate) but Flint still doesn't detect loss of internet. The pinging app on my phone doesn't give a result for 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. The conclusion is that the Flint 2 doesn't ping correctly to detect that there's no internet. It's been 10 minutes now, it's still hasn't detected lol
What is your exact firmware version?
It doesn't go through. I've tested on a pinging app
I'm on 4.5.8 stock firmware.
Can you login to your router by SSH and try to ping from there?
Can you ssh into the router and enter the following command to see if there are packets coming in on that interface?
echo 3 > /proc/gl-kmwan/debug
logread -f|grep RX
The following command can turn off debugging:
echo 2 > /proc/gl-kmwan/debug
Okay please advise, If I log in using putty do I just type "ping 1.1.1.1”? Not 100% sure how to ping on ssh
Yep, exactly.
And for stopping you press CTRL+C
The result:
root@GL-MT6000:~# ping 1.1.1.1
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1): 56 data bytes
That is weird. It indicates that the ping did not work. 
Can you please run nslookup forum.gl-inet.com as well?
Do I paste the result here?

Is the eth2 port not switched to the eth1 port?
THE RESULT:
root@GL-MT6000:~# nslookup forum.gl-inet.com
Server: 192.168.8.1
Address: 192.168.8.1#53
Name: forum.gl-inet.com
Address 1: 44.235.104.247
*** Can't find forum.gl-inet.com: No answer
This shows that both eth2 and eth1 ports have data packets coming in. All multi-line loads will think that both networks are normal.
