Hello. I have RB4011iGS with v6.47.9 on it.
the settings are default. no adjustment done from what it is after reset.
Right now I have WAN (internet) input on ether1. but I also want to have another ISP WAN input to input on ether6. and to be able to switch to ISP ether6 input when the ISP on ether1 is down. How can I make the ether6 also to be an internet input, as in the quick setup it only has ether1 in dropdown? and is it possible to have eth1 and eth6 same time ISP input or it have to be one or another, can not be 2 together? and then how is the easiest and fastest way to make it “switchable” between 2 of those ISP inputs? what needs to be changed and how to do it best? if possibly automatically when ether1 is down or have no input to switch to ether6 would be perfect at all:)
One ISP is regular cable ethernet cable from multi apt house router on the roof, one is Starlink by ethernet cable adapter. right now i have to pull cable from eth1 and plug it one by one when switching ISP. but can i do it with software or better automatically?
Yes, sure you can (although I don’t get what is the exact difference between “in software” and “automatically” ).
As @BartoszP states, there are lots of topics on this here on the forum - e.g. this one. But if you use some UDP connections and the switchover is necessary multiple times a day as I suspect, you may need additional scripting to deal with the changes. If that’s the case, or if you get stuck with the basic solution, come back here or check this post.
