Sometimes the email account goes haywire on the spouses PC.
The issue is that to rectify reset accounts one has to be on the providers WAN (Wan2 - secondary).
Since often it is not an option to interrupt services to others (by simply turning wan1 off momentarily) I had to come up with another solution.
Thought process - create vlan50 called EastlinkDirect
Ensure Vlan50 is accessible on a number of ports in the house
Create IP ROUTE RULE and new Route.
Any of interface=EastlinkDirect or src-address=192.168.50.0/24 is sufficient in the /ip route rule, specifying both doesn’t do too much of a harm (just a lil bit more of CPU spent per packet).
I assume that under normal circumstances, you want that PC to benefit from load distribution between the WANs, so there is no point in telling you that you could lock it to WAN 2 by reserving a DHCP lease for it in the general purpose VLAN&subnet and making the /ip route rule refer to that reserved address.
Correct there is no PC attached to VLAN50 at the moment but I could easily attach a laptop for example, or redirect one of my switchports to vlan50 vice another vlan. Understood about the double nature of the route rule, will simple make it the interface.
