Default Gateway Question

OK. I've got a question.

I've got two Freesco Boxes set up. One for high speed access, and another for Dial up, in case my High Speed goes down.

Now, my network at home is DHCP with the following set for the DHCP Server Default Gateway Options:
192.168.1.1 -->High Speed
192.168.1.2-->Dial Up

My question is this:
I unplug my High Speed, but I never can get the Internet to work. It's like all it tries is the first default gateway.

If I take out the 192.168.1.1, and just have 192.168.1.2, everything works fine on the Dial Up.

Any ideas?

Is there a routing table on the high-speed Freesco box? If so, you set the primary route to be the connection to the ISP, and a secondary route to the dial-up Freesco box. That would only protect you if the high-speed link went down, not if the router (Freesco) goes down.

I'm not sure how you set up redundancy for the router box.
