Hi Guys,
We have a SOHO Sonic Wall, also have 2 internet companies. Once in a while our main internet goes
down, and since we have are POS System on the cloud we are down till it is back up. We have a spare
internet company that we don't use, is it possible to connect 2 internet's into the sonic wall?
Thanks
Lloyd

Hi @Setman ,
We can setup two WAN connections on Sonicwall and configure it as Basic Failover.
For configuring secondary WAN Interface on Sonicwall please follow the KB below:
For Configring the failover , where if the Primary is not down, the firewall will forward the traffic via the secondary WAN connections for uninterrupted service.
Please let us know if you have any queries.
Thanks!!

Hope you are doing good.
Yes we can configure a second interface as WAN and use that interface under WAN failover and load balancing group.
Please check the following article for configuring second WAN.
To configure the WAN Failover for a SonicWALL appliance, complete the following steps:
1) Expand the Network tree and click WAN Failover & LB. The WAN Failover & LB page displays.
2 Select Enable Load Balancing.
3 Edit Default LB Group, Choose Basic Failover.
Enable Preempt and failback to preferred interfaces when possible
4) Move the new WAN interface under Select here: Interface Ordering
To make WAN failover to work seamlessly, probing on each interface is recommended.
For probe configuration please check the following article.
Please let us know if you have any queries.
