Balance and failsafe

RouterOS Beginner Basics

what is the best way to balance two internet connections into one

also what is the best way to setup failsafe on mikrotik so when fiber goes down it goes to 4g

2

For load balancing check out the wiki:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Load_Balancing_over_Multiple_Gateways

The wiki explains how to mark packets as group a and groupb

Does this mean one client would have two ip address one from Each group


I still dont understand how i can route one wan to group a and one to group b

Your original post stated that you were looking at loadbalancing two internet connections. The Wiki goes over the process on how to do that.

Your second post indicates that you are trying to manually assign a group of local IPs to a specific WAN IP. That is different. That can be achieved by simply creating NAT rules allowing one group to access 1 WAN IP; while NAT’ing group b to WAN 2.

Your first post: wiki link is a bit irrelevant

As i dont understand how a marked group can be balanced to output on a new port


Your second post: makes no sense to me
Not trying to assign ip
I have nat rules in place

How does the router handle two simultanious nats

I thought it was one or the other

For instance

Can i assign one isp to ether1

And another isp to ether2

And then balance the two connections to output to an ap on ether3?

6

also i wonder if i can set

to “”“boot ethernet on ether1 down”"

for instance if ether 1 looses internet connection i can boot ether5

to run

so it will boot up a raspberry pi which has 4g lte backup internet card

7

ether1 =isp1
ether5 =isp2


shall i bridge the two ether1 and 5 ports to dstnat??

has anyone seen that some apple products such as there airport access points have issues with double nat

What is the best mikrotik router

To run 3 or 4 mobile internet connections via

Lte Sim card to ethernet boxes i have
These boxes output ethernet

So i will have three ethernets ewch with seperate mobile internet connection

I want to make a mobile box

And i want a rb board to control the balance for three connections at once to come out of one lan on the rb board
