Abstract
Various embodiments of apparatuses, systems (e.g., a gateway device) and/or methods are described for correcting failover or latency issues of a network connection. In this disclosure, a gateway device determines whether a first connection between the gateway device and a first wide area network has a network outage. Network latency is determined for the first connection between the gateway device and the first wide area network, and such network latency is compared with a predefined threshold. In response to the network latency being above the predefined threshold or in response to determining that there is the network outage, a second wide area network is used via a computing device to create a second connection between the end devices and the second wide area network, and data is sent between the end devices using the second connection.
