      I noticed if I plug my Verizon Jetpack into a USB port on my pfSense machine, it comes up in the list of interfaces. If I activate it, it works as a 2nd WAN. This is a nifty feature to have.
      My question is, how can one set it up should WAN1 fails to have internet and pfsense automatically notices this, and activates WAN2? Otherwise, both WAN's are active at the same time.

          That^

          Both WANs will always be active but you can route traffic via one of the other using policy routing.
