How to redirect traffic from udp in Dual WAN

Thu Feb 15, 2018 5:19 pm

Hello guys,

I wil explain my actual setup, and lastly I'll ask my request:

I have two WAN: VDSL 50/5 (WAN1) and Local Provider 10/2 (WAN2).
The scenario is:

  • Local Provider has better pings (for gaming, mainly), and better response in web browsing.
  • VDSL has higher bandwidth for downloading, and sharing the connection around the PCs and Smarthphones, Chromecast, etc.

I used to use an Archer C7 (with mwan3), 75% of the traffic (web browsing) comes from WAN1, 25% comes from WAN2. I created a policy that every udp connection to my two wired computers is forced by WAN2 (if it's down, it'll come from WAN1).
And it works PERFECTLY.

Recently, I bought a Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD (willing of learn) and I'm trying to make a similar (more optimized) scenario with it (and switch my Archer C7 to be my mainly AP 2.4 + 5GHz).
I've been searching for a nice way to load balance my connections. I used this tutorial: https://mum.mikrotik.com//presentations ... schoff.pdf
It's working, dunno if in the best way, but working.

My first question is: how can I make my wired computers to use UDP connections (csgo and league of legends, for example. And I'm not saying specific ports, 'cause it is always changing, I guess) from WAN2 (mainly), and only use from WAN1 if WAN2 is down???

The second question is: there's best type of load balance to use in this scenario (instead of PCC specified above)? If so, which one?

I can sell my Mikrotik and get back to OpenWRT/LEDE (Archer C7), but I think the Mikrotik's scenario can do it optimizely. Later this year, I intend to buy a hAP AC2 to retire my actual devices.

Best regards.
