Setting up a redundant internet connection

RouterOS General
1

My primary connection is a Cable line, so I decided to get wireless as a backup from a different ISP.

So, now I have two Internet Service Providers (one is cable the other one is wireless). On these two physically separate lines I have MikroTik router installed (RouterOS 3.25).

The first router is set up to allow VPN, RDP, HTTP/S, FTP, SSH, Mail via the cable line.

I’d like to have the second router set up in a similar way as the first one, so that in event of loosing my cable line I have alternative way of accessing my servers and services.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks,
Peter

Configure a second default route with a higher distance, set check-gateway to ping on both default routes.

PCC might be a good idea.

I have no idea what the speeds of your connections are, but PCC will load-balance across the two connections, and automatically fail-over to the other one if one fails.
