Hello there, i am new to the Mikrotik thing, i am a computer technician and a i have some experience in networking, what i was wondering is the following :
I have 2 pppoe accounts both the same speed, can i set up the 2 accounts to obtain link aggregation? or load balancing? so i can provide a higher speed via the third Ethernet card by a pppoe server, btw i am using winbox but i can manage the commands, Thanks in advance for who’s willing to help.
Tony.
Hi, I was also looking into this.
Firstly are you trying to aggregate multiple(2) ADSL accounts, let’s say 2x 512k for 1024k internet speed?
I have seen firewall scripts that loadbalances between the two but it doesn’t give you a full trunk just splits the consumption over two lines but doesn’t give you the full 1024k. Used mainly if you have a lot of users on the internet so they get their fair share. Doesn’t increase line speed. These scripts(or rather instructions) marks routing odd or even A or B. Some clients then use GW1 and others use GW2 based on assigned address lists.
If this does what you need check out these urls for instructions:

Otherwise I am in the same boat as you are. I want more speed for me! And on the training I was this was half mentioned…
Thanks that was a bit helpful, but the configuration is a bit different because i am working on pppoe as wan, doesn’t matter if i don’t get aggregation , example 1M speed from two 512k accounts, as long as i can benefit from both accounts to provide faster internet on the other side, anyone can help out with the configuration ?
