A little bit of background. I installed AdvancedTomato on my Asus RT-18NU, and used a guide to setup MultiWAN. I have an ADSL connection (used exclusively for gaming) and another router with LTE to be used by our streaming devices (Netflix etc)
Everything works fine (routing wise) until one of the connections goes down (due to me unplugging the ADSL router due to lightning - or the LTE router loosing wireless signal)
What seems to be happening - when the Asus router first boots up - it uses which ever connection is set with the highest priority load balancing number for DNS lookups.
In my usual setup, my LTE router has a load balancing priority of 1. My ADSL router has 2. If for some reason the LTE router looses connection - everything connected to the Asus router no longer has access to the internet - even if traffic is routed to the ADSL router. I have to restart the Asus router with the LTE router unplugged before the DNS lookup is done over the ADSL router.
Does anyone know how I can fix / work around this?
