Can you show a screenshot? I have a similar setup with a secondary wired connection instead of wireless and it works fine

i think it depends on the SonicWALL model and if failover is supported on the interface for site interconnection. more info please?

We have two offices that require inter-connectivity and standalone internet connections.<br />
<br />
Each site has a Sonicwall firewall acting as their primary WAN. Internet traffic is sent out through the sonicwall.<br />
<br />
The sites are interconnected with a ptp wireless solution. The sonicwall at both sites has a dedicated interface for the PtP dish and routing has been setup to allow traffic to go freely between the sites on the LAN side.<br />
<br />
What we want to be able to do is failover the internet via the PtP dish to the sonicwall at the other site in case the internet fails at either or site.<br />
<br />
On a Cisco it's &nbsp;as simple as adding a secondary default route with a higher metric, but on the Sonicwalls the default route for whatever reason has a metric of 255 and is uneditable!?<br />
<br />
What other options do we have?

WAN failover on a Sonicwall

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

A consultant is a professional who provides professional or expert advice in a particular area such as security (electronic or physical), management, education, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing and public relations, finance, engineering, science or any of many other specialized fields.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
