Multi WAN Router 10 Setup

Routers
1

I have a Router 10 and two ISPs, the main provider is fiber with 1gbs. The backup is 5G. I’ve connected the first one to W1 WAN port and setup as WAN1. The second one I’ve connected to the L1 and I setup as WAN Port with WAN2. I don’t know if it’s working and using as failover or balancing traficc. I try to find a manual and I didn’t find it.

You can configure the WAN settings to define the Metric which will enable a basic failover.

Hi, I just need some explaination, can you tell me what are default Metric ? If I want to enable a basic failover on SFP port WAN2 (8Gb fiber connection), does that mean that I have to set, for example METRIC = 100 on SFP port and METRIC = 1 on ETH Wan1 port ? Then the SFP WAN2 port will be the main provider and the ETH WAN1 (4G LTE ISP) port will be the backup ?
Thank you for your help !

Primary WAN set teh Metric lower than the Secondry Wan conection
For Example:

ip route show primary metric as 200

default via 182.210.110.1 dev eth3.911 proto static src 182.210.110.146 metric 200

so

WAN2 FIBRE: Metric= 200
WAN1 LTE: Metric =300

if WAN2 fails, should route onto WAN1

Old thread but did it work?

Played around with setting metric 1 and 2 for fibre and Starlink and it ended up failing over to Starlink quite a bit despite fibre working

Changed it to 200 for fibre and 300 for starlink and seems to be ok for now.

I found a workaround here, but doesn’t persist upon reboot
