Load blance with same ip

[MBS]

Hi

I want to configure a MikroTik RB1100AHx2 server (version 7.20) to combine four connections in the best possible way.

I have four Starlink devices that all share the same gateway 100.64.0.1.

I cannot change the default gateway because when I do, the speed drops significantly.

Is there anyone who can help me, please?

The 100.64.0.1 Is the address of each star link, i.e. you have - more generically - four routers/modems all with the same address?

I used for a similar ( but different ) setup a “reversed” VRF, in my case the scopes were failover and the possibility of removing altogether the Mikrotik device ( that has the same address as the routers/modems) connecting directly to one of the routers without changing anything in the network configuration.

You could try a similar approach, and then change the failover setup into load balance.

The thread is long, but contains GNS3 schemes and reproducible configurations, here:

Attempting to evolve from caveman's failover

Hello to all. Completely new to Mikrotik RouterOS, and with a far from complete understanding of networking (so please be gentle if I ask too simple/basic questions and/or I use some incorrect terminology). I spent some time in the last few days reading many forum posts and trying to have a basic understanding of the capabilities of the RouterOS, after - while looking for a possible better solution to my current failover setup (none or manual/caveman) - I learned from posts and links by Sob …

There may be other ways, without needing a VRF, if you can use a different IP address for the Mikrotik.
