RAK7437/RAK7437C Network & Connectivity Settings

Go to Network to configure and manage your gateway’s WAN and LAN interfaces, ensuring reliable internet connectivity and stable local network access.

WAN

The WAN configuration manages how the gateway connects to the internet through available network interfaces: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Cellular (for LTE models). By default, the system utilizes predefined connection priorities and failover rules to maintain stable network connectivity.

For detailed configuration parameters, see the WisGateOS 2 User Manual > Network > WAN.

The following sections describe both the basic WAN setup and the operation of the Multi-Network Backup and Auto Failover features.

Multi-Wan Network Backup

Enable multiple WAN interfaces simultaneously and set a priority order. The gateway will always use the highest-priority connection, while lower-priority links serve as automatic backups to ensure stable connectivity.

Auto Failover

Auto Failover monitors WAN connections in real time. If the active link fails, the gateway seamlessly switches to a backup interface and returns to the primary link when it is restored, ensuring high availability and uninterrupted connectivity.

LAN

Configure local network settings, including the DHCP server and Wi-Fi AP mode, to manage local connectivity. For detailed configuration parameters, see the WisGateOS 2 User Manual > Network > LAN.
