I have two adsl routers connected to two mikrotiks.
so basically both adsl routers are connected to each other. both routers are currently in Router mode. meaning the adsl routers dial the pppoe connection to my providers. Now for some weird reason, the adsl connection (to my provider) of one router is using the WAN port of the other router, dont ask me how its doing it but yes thats whats happening, coz my isp is telling me i have two simultaneous connections running.
i have two isp’s
so heres a view of my network
Router 1: IP: 10.0.0.2 ---------Connected to ISP1
Router 2: IP: 10.0.0.3 ---------Connected to ISP2
problem is that router 1 is dialing over Router 2’s WAN port.
So now, i want to put both into bridge mode and have my mikrotik routers doing the pppoe connection to my ISP’s.
But how do i tell the mikrotik to dial the pppoe over Router 1 and not Router 2?
Both routers and both mikrotiks are on the same network.
i think that is obvious - you have two DSLs - so two connections …

is it copper DSL? I doubt this is possible. What about simple test: power off “Router 2” and check “Router 1” connectivity to ISP. In case of FTTx or ethernet connection, having everything in one broadcast probably (as probably is your setup) is not right setup.

guess you going to have same problem.

Hmm, no wonder routers are confused …, i am too. Network diagram will help to understand what is happening.
BTW unless DSLs are copper or some other “weird” interface (read not ethernet or WiFi), all can be done by one Mikrotik.

Heres my newtork diagram.
The reason i have to have both adsl routers connected to each other is because i need to route different types of traffic over both of the isps. For eg, Http traffic routes to: 10.0.0.2 (ISP1) and P2P traffic routes to 10.0.0.3 (ISP2)
