in your ip -> routes add two new routes for default gateway, one for your fiber with distance=1 and one for your wifi with distance=2, so everytime fiber gateway is down, it will automatically shift to your wifi gateway, and when your fiber gateway is back again automatically it will change back to your main gateway.

Then you have to do it with a script-scheduler.

You have to check the main gateway ip, of the fiber gateway, by ping command.
If not ping to this ip, then change to your second gateway.
If ping is ok, then change to your main fiber gateway.
