I live in a place with 2 wireless routers, 1 of which I have connected my rig directly through Ethernet.

However, sometimes the Ethernet (or the router that provides the connection) dies... and yet, my rig doesn't seem to automatically switch to the available wi-fi connection...

Does anyone know what I can do about this?

So you have an ethernet bridge between two wifi routers, with a direct, cabled ethernet connection to your miner to the remote side of the bridge.  And you want your miner to connect to the wifi (far side of the bridge) if the bridge goes down?  What kind of miner is this?  You'd probably have to run a scheduled script or have both connections active at the same time.

My recommendation is to always home run a cable to devices that are critical.  Wifi, while it can be reliable, will always have more interference/trouble than a properly cabled connection.

With a proper hard wired network setup you should never have these problems. You should eliminate wifi from your any place between your internet connection and your miner. Antminers will not fail over network connections and also does not support wifi with any onboard hardware.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

 Exactly. You need 1 router that can do the fail-over for you. A good cheap start is the Fortigate 90D. Not sure how big your network is of course, They have much larger if needed.
