Frustration ! - Need help tp configure RB3011UiAS-RM so as to act as router with two ISP

I am really starting to want to throw this thing out of the window and burn it.

Need to configure RB3011UiAS-RM so as to act as router with two ISP (1 adsl, 1 lte).

Summarising :-

What I have done

  1. Kept default configuration defconf and changed 192.168.88.1 to 192.168.0.1. Router is acting as router not bridge.
  2. Port ETH1 is configured with address 192.168.1.2 - renamed to E1_LTE
    LTE modem is connected to port ETH1
    Modem has dhcp OFF and address 192.168.1.1
  3. Port ETH2 is configured with address 192.168.0.1 - renamed to E2_LAN
    Dhcp server is held over from default configuration “defconf”
    Port ETH2 is slave to bridge.
    Dhcp server is configured with bridge as interface.
    dhcp network is 192.168.0.0/24
    dhcp address pool is 192.168.0.10-254

For now this setup works using only 1 ISP (the LTE modem).

I don’t know how to continue and … here are the problems:

  1. Can I connect another ISP to one of the ports in the range eth3-eth10 ?

  2. The interface on which my dhcp server is setup is “bridge” and port ETH2 (E2_LAN) has “bridge” set as bridge.
    → I cannot change the interface of the dhcp to ETH2, because the router tells me ETH2 is slave to bridge.
    → I cannot disable or delete the bridge since then I lose connectivity to the router and cannot make any more changes - safe mode does not help.

  3. I would like to configure load balancing as per → https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PCC
    but the router keeps informing me that

a :- “in/out-interface matcher not possible when interface (E2_LAN) is slave - use master instead (bridge)” – for the prerouting chain
b:- “in/out-interface matcher not possible when interface (E6_ADSL) is slave - use master instead (bridge)” – for the 2nd prerouting chain

Further work is pointless because nothing works.

Can anyone PLEASE step by step help in configuring this ?
Is it at all possible ?
Did they guys at the store lie to me when they said I could configure this thing like describe above ?

I am nearing desperation and am ready to sledgehammer the thing …

Please help

Hello,

For your second line (adsl) you need to plug it on an isolated port (this port can not be a prt of your bridge)

Then just add route regarding the setup you need.

If your ETH2 is a part of your bridge, you need to assign an ip and the dhcp server to this.

All your configuration will pint to thi bridge instead of ETH2.

After, if you need one or more others ports in your lan, just add them to the bridge.

Hello,

And thx a million for Your suggestion.

I’m sorry to say, though, I need a bit more detailed instruction.
I am a beginner :smiley: .

What I can do is the following :-
I can isolate a port for example → ETH7
Give this port a new address say -->192.168.2.2
I can setup the adsl modem to have address -->192.168.2.1
Connect the adsl modem to port ETH7.

With the above steps I have the modem connected to the router but ETH7 is still isolated.

Question:
Do I have to add port ETH7 to the default bridge now ?
I have ~30MBPS on the LTE and ~30MBPS in the ADSL modem available - I want them both to work in unison so as to exploit all the bandwidth available.
Do I configure as per load balancing (PCC) or in another way ?

thx for Your help
