Dual WAN Configuration

Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:20 pm

Hello Forum,
I'm trying to set up a dual WAN configuration (FTTH + 5G upstream connections) for my home network.
I've used a great method which is available from Router OS 7.3 using reccursive routing, scope and target scope (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTmpBAAW_pQ) but I still have routing issues as apparently some default configuration prevents the route setup to work. When I go into the Route List and try to remove them, RouterOS reinstall them automatically.
I'm not using fib nor masquerade firewall rules.
Can someone tell me what can be done.
I'm pinging far end DNS servers from the 2 to check connectivity from the main router and the packets look to ignore the scope and target scope setup chosing themselves the route to use.

Happy if someone can help.
Thanks
Laurent

The automatic default route creation is disabled in the DHCP client.
It is the default route 0.0.0.0/0 that changes your settings, not the ones you indicated in the picture.
PS Personally, I prefer the option of switching routes via netwatch

Hi, what would you suggest to avoid this misbehavior, My goal is to have the traffic routed via the WAN FTTP and the backup via the WAN 5G woud take over only if the router cannot ping addresses (Google DNS servers or others) not accessible via the WAN FTTH.

How would it work via netwatch ?
Thanks

You must disable the default route addition in the DHCP client settings.
