      On a new SG-2440, the WAN interface works great (ISP1 with fixed IP address) and OPT1 is set up with all the right parameters (ISP2 with fixed IP address).  But while the WAN interface accesses the internet well and OPT1 says it's connected, no internet traffic goes via OPT1.  How do I set up the router so it runs traffic through OPT1 first (ISP2 is faster than ISP1) and then fails over to WAN only if OPT1 fails?  A simple step by step explanation would be helpful (I have all the IP address, gateway, subnet mask, etc data).  Thanks.  Larry
