Router on a stick and two gateways. Is that possible?

Thu Oct 07, 2021 1:13 pm

Hi,
I've got a DSL router from my ISP (192.168.1.1/24) that has WiFi. I have a MikroTik hEX (WAN is 192.168.1.2/24) as well. Thing is, I want to use WiFi (ISP router) and Accounting (MikroTik)

My rough idea is: a WiFi connected device (let's say a laptop 192.168.1.3/24) will have its gateway configured to 192.168.1.2. So packets from a device will go to the ISP router, then by cable to MikroTik, then back again to the ISP router and DSL line.

Can it be done? I've tried with the following configuration, but no luck. MikroTik is not sending the packets back to the ISP router.

1. The firewall rules on the Mikrotik seems to be as per default, so firewall probably dropping the packet coming in on WAN interface .
2. Have not tested your scenario, but suspect if you resolve point 1 above, the Mikrotik is going to send an icmp redirect packet back to the laptop telling it to use 192.168.1.1 as gateway anyway
