Has anyone successfully implemented on Route 10 Router - WAN 1 and WAN 2 with dual ISP’s for use as failover?
I am able to get WAN 1 to work on AT&T and WAN 2 using Spectrum, but I am not able to get them to properly fail over and back properly.
I can go from WAN 1 to WAN 2. But not From WAN 2 to WAN 1.
Wondering if anyone else has any similar experience with this?
During testing, did you set the metric correctly for each? I have not played with this yet, but I bet that will help.
This makes sense. Thank you
So put the Metric at 20 on WAN 1 and 30 on WAN 2. I am not sure what numbers to use?
I did reboot Route 10 unit and it now will not move to WAN 1 at all. it is stuck on WAN 2 and will not move back to WAN 1.
Is there a failover via ping? I can not see this feature… ie. set ping 1.1.1.1 if no ping detected go to WAN2. when WAN1 has ping switch back.
Currently WAN failover will work if 1) Lower metric link goes down, or 2) Lower metric gateway is unreachable. If you see a case where this isn’t true, we’d love to know. We are actively working on improving this to also ping an internet address to detect connectivity.
Multi-WAN isn’t yet implemented. So the if WAN with metric 1 fails 2 will work but 2 won’t go to 1. When Multi-WAN rolls out it will have load balance and true failover I’m guessing.
