      I am not able to see the default Gateway switching option under advanced-> Miscellaneous.

      Will this affect the WAN failover?
      Now it takes atleast 2 seconds to switch between the primary and the secondary WAN if the primary WAN is down.

        Default Gateway Group:
        The default gateway may now be configured using a Gateway Group setup for failover (each gateway on a different tier), which replaces Default Gateway Switching. #8187

          Thank you for your reply. I have enabled the sticky connections as well. But a remote session or a VPN connection gets disconnected during the WAN switchover.

            Yes that is a normal behavior when the WAN gets switched.
