Shift form one wifi network to another if internet is unavailable

windows 10, home , x64 ;
netsetman ver 4.3.4 ;
NSM activated .

hi, as subject defines, i have 2 routers at home, from 2 different internet providers, so that i may transfer from one internet provider to other when there is no internet due to any technical fault.

i tried to search facts, help file ,but that didn't helped me.

what i want is,
if one of my wifi routers is missing internet , then i want my pc to connect to another router , the one which has internet connectivity available .... in this way i can stay connected even if one provider is unable to provide internet.

one thing to keep in mind is that, even when the internet is not available there's still the wifi signal broadcasting on both routers, so the feature of netsetman to change network based on NETWORK availability will not be useful here.

I want NETSETMAN to connect that router which has INTERNET connectivity in it.

Why not? You can use the PING condition to check if some server on the Internet is available or not.

according to my knowledge, ping if used in command line , tells us if some server is available on network or not.

i dont have server,
then how can i use ping to find out if the connected network has internet init or not ???

Why did you post the same question in the other subforum again after our reply? Please do not cross-post. This will only slow things down. We have now deleted your identical second thread.

You mentioned, that you believe AutoSwitch isn't suitable for you, because you need a condition that is based on Internet availability, not local network availability. We then pointed out that AutoSwitch also offers the condition "ping" (see our help file) that you can use to check if you have Internet access. For this simply ping some Internet server to see if you have access to the Internet or not. This doesn't have to be your own server. You can ping google.com or any other website that responds to pings.
