How quickly can a dual-SIM router move to the second SIM if the first network fails?

That depends on the router’s failover rules and on how failure is detected. Some systems swap because the mobile connection drops outright. Others watch whether traffic can still reach a known destination, which is often more useful because a link can stay technically connected while being practically unusable. The transition may be quick, but the real question is whether the application can tolerate a short interruption while the router re-registers and re-establishes sessions.

Comset can help tune that behaviour for the job. An unattended monitor, an EFTPOS terminal and a site-to-site VPN tunnel may each need slightly different failover logic.
