Hi, I am looking if someone could help me or just guide me if this is possible.
Recently I bought it RB2011UiAS-2HnD router and pretty happy with it.
Situation is I got at home router which provides 160mbps down speed and I am connected now trough powerline which is sometimes not very stable(sometimes just losing connection) and not using full potential of my internet. Right now I am getting around 60-70mbps trough powerline and often its loosing connection. So
I tried few tutorials, but didn't get it working properly, maybe because most of the times tutorials made for different internet sources(wan's), which is in my case I got only one. Idea is get mikrotik connected to cable and wifi connection and get combined speeds + failover. To get better idea I draw little diagram.

If anyone could at least help me to configure properly this or at least guide me would be fantastic. Thank you

I have the same setup and wanted to setup the same load balancing with failover... I've tried every guide and config cheat sheet out there and have had no luck.

Take a look at this.. it not only shows how to do this, but also explains step by step.

Wow this is impressive... I"m going to be doing some reading and testing tonight!! do you have the video on policy based as well? or are the other types only available in the pdf file?

Hey there,

I've been reading your presentation and watching your video on load balancing and I'm going to give it a shot tonight. The one question I had about the complete solution is how to implement the proper failover configs so that it works with your solution?

I have two ISP's 20M/20M and 60M/5M, and unfortunately they've both been having issues lately with packet loss and dropping out. I'm not sure how to tell it "if you see more than this % of packet loss don't route over this connection any more" or "if you cannot ping this ip 8.8.8.8 anymore do not route over this connection any more", and then likewise when to reroute when it comes back up.

For failover based on packet-loss, that is really hard to implement...

For failover on total link dropout (cant ping IP x over the link) I use this solution lately:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Advanced_ ... _Scripting

is there a walk through for packet loss failover? Also is there some kind of notification to let you know when one link has failed and to notify via email or text or something?

Notification with email is easy, simply use netwatch to monitor the host which is used for failover based on recursive route lookup.
Then if that host goes down, fire an email using the netwatch scripts.

As for packet-loss, you have 2 options:
1) Write a script which monitors it for you and then switches your connection - this will take some work, especially if you havent messed with RouterOS scripting yet.
2) Implement an external monitoring solution, which will fire a MKT API command to failover when packet loss is unacceptable.

alrighty, ya basically I'm new to mikrotik and router os in general... this is my first try and getting this solution up and running and running mikrotik at all to be honest. Everything I know about it I've learned on this attempt.

Thank you very much, I am pleased more people came up looking for same configuration. I will give a go as soon as I have more spare time on the weekend.
