Newbie here,

rb450g
wan1 = 192.168.1.11 static
wan2 = 192.168.2.11 static
lan = 192.168.3.11 static

I was needing some help with setting up a dual wan failover without load balancing. I was able to get the basic setup to work, but it keeps dropping out randomly. Sometimes it lets me ping to (google or whereever) sometimes it doesn't. If someone can look at my setup and point me the correct direction I would appreciate it.

I am testing at my home using a switch and 2 other routers to simulate the other isp's

Hello,

You should try this way of doing such failover:

I've used it sometimes and does a nice job

Hey Shawnp did you get your setup to work? I am looking at something similiar
