I have a MT RB4011 that I am using it just for the link aggregation in a NAS and I have also the Chateau 5g. SIM 1 with static IP is in Chateau and the SIM 2 is in a 5G router that it is on CGNAT.
My goal is that I want to use the 5G router SIM 2 that is connected to Chateau on ether1 for internet access and the SIM 1 that have static IP for external access (vpn, port forward mostly) without disabling on or the other.
I tried some load balance – magle methods but nothing is working efficiently.
The difference on the two sims besides the static ip and cgnat is the bandwidth.
SIM 1 have 150 mbps dl / 50 mbps ul
SIM 2 have 700 mbps dl / 70 mbps ul
Is it possible to do it without losing the speed of the SIM 2 (700mbps dl) if yes any help will be much appriciated.
Keep in mind with load balancing, it’s connection-based so it’s always going to be a bit “fuzzy” on how bandwidth is distributed — since it doesn’t know how much bandwidth a connection is going to use.
But assuming you’re using PCC, you can favor your SIM2 — so more connections use that one. If you haven’t see, this video does a pretty good job of explaining load balancing using PCC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlb7XAv57tw
Otherwise, some config/diagram/etc might help since it not ever clear what your mangling.
I made a configuration according the guide from the video but it was not a success after all.
What I am trying to do is in simple words is to use the lte of the Chateau for remote access and a 5G modem connected to Chateau ethernet 1 for local internet access.
In my case with the lte’s (chateau internal modem and the router connected in ethernet 1) i have not a static ip to set in default gateways route table so i use the interface instead (for example default gateway=lte1), maybe there is the problem and all the rules failing.
i have attached my current configuration file along with the diagram with what i want to do. 18112023.docx (13.9 KB)
The sim 2 router have dhcp only local ip and there is no way to give a static one. If i put the dhcp address in the Chateau routes table and give distance 2 its working but if the router restart and the ip is not valid anymore, route is not working along with all mangle rules related to it.
My second issue right now is that the speed is cut to half on lte1 meaning downloading from outside my network the solid 50mbps upload became 20-35mbps roughly.
