摘要：
Web-enabled routers are remotely and securely administered in a centralized fashion. A router receives a configuration profile from a dedicated web domain that maintains a repository of configuration profiles for multiple routers. The web domain also provides a web portal for customized generation of new configuration profiles based on stored profiles. When a new profile is deployed to and instantiated on a router, the router transmits a “heartbeat” to ensure that it can maintain connectivity with the web domain; if not, the router reverts to a previous “failover” configuration profile that ensures connectivity to the web domain. A router also may be equipped with both a wired and a wireless (e.g., a 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE) WAN communication interface. In the event of a wired connectivity issue, the router controls the wireless WAN interface to prioritize traffic for the router heartbeat and data backup/restore operations between a computer network for which the router serves as a gateway and the web domai
