Failover not working as expected

I have an MX84.

 

WAN 1 has IPv4 and IPv6 both are active. WAN 2 is IPv4 only (cellular backup).

 

We were having intermittent packet loss on WAN 1 which would cause WAN 2 to take and give up the active roll over and over. So I changed WAN 2 to be the primary uplink, and it said active. Yet looking at the traffic monitor, no traffic was traversing WAN 2 even though it was set as primary, traffic was still using WAN 1. This led to cellular WAN 2 being completely useless.

 

IPv6 on WAN 1 would still show as active, even if the connection would drop a few times. Do I need to change the failover from graceful to immediate or do I need to change the IPv6 address to something bogus? (So that if WAN 1 IPv4 fails maybe then it would finally use WAN 2?)

 

Thanks
