wifi -- fallback WLAN connection for server

Hi. I was thinking i would like to have a fallback wifi network connection for my unraid server.

Why? Well i have a ups on my server to power the server when i have a power failure. I also have another ups on my router and phone etc in another room. At the moment i connect my server to the router using a powerline connection.

So when my power fails my server and internet router are powered but i have no network connection, from my laptop to the server due to the powerline part of the setup. Unfortunately i cant use cat 5e to link the router and server.

So i was wondering if it is possible for unraid to use a wifi connection then set it to a fall back if the wired lan fails?

I am thinking it probably isnt possible, but hey you never know! Failing that i guess i would just have to use my second lan port and connect that to a lan to wifi access point and power that off my server ups. But that just seems very over the top.

Any ideas guys? Thanks
