      Hi everybody!

      I'm facing an issue, which might be normal behavior.

      I have two routers, each with 2 WAN connections, and HA (High Availability) enabled and working.

      The only problem is that when one of the WAN interfaces on the Master router disconnects, instead of triggering a gateway failover, the Backup router takes control. I'm not sure if this is due to a misconfiguration or expected behavior.

      At the end of the day, what I need is for the router to switch only if LAN or synchronization interface are offline.

      Any comments?

        @chano76 Define "disconnects"? As in, unplugged, or the gateway is marked down?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          What is the pfSense version?
          How did you configure the failover group?
