Fairway Business router with WAN failover and traffic priority

Security that takes your business offline is not security. Fairway is the part of the gateway that decides how your traffic reaches the internet: which link it takes, what happens when that link dies, and which traffic gets priority when the pipe is full.

Give it more than one connection (fibre, 4G/5G, satellite) and it watches all of them continuously. When the primary degrades or drops, traffic moves to the next one without anybody being called. When it comes back, traffic moves home. Links can also be ranked by cost, so bulk transfers ride the cheap connection and only the traffic that matters falls back to the expensive one.

Priority works the same way. Video calls, voice and control traffic are protected from the backup job that would otherwise flatten them; bulk downloads are shaped so they use what is spare rather than what is needed. On a vessel or a remote site, where the link is narrow and metered, this is often the difference between a usable connection and an unusable one.

Fairway also runs the practical plumbing around all of that: guest and visitor access issued as vouchers, published services reachable from outside on the ports you nominate, name resolution that keeps working when the upstream does not, and, where a satellite terminal is fitted, position and link quality read directly from the dish.
