Question Setting up dual WAN with failover on the MicroTik hEX RB750Gr3

[skyking]

I see lots of tutorial videos that are just screens of what to click and select, with music in the background. If anyone has done this and has any suggestions I am all ears.
Comcast was deliberately sabotaged in two different communities yesterday, and Darling Wife works from home and was not thrilled.
We are also in a hole when it comes to mobile coverage, or we could just hotspot to cover an outage.
I was able to get a decent deal with our old ISP to get the second connection, and I have until Thursday to get a port converted and this router set up properly.

Maybe this collection can help!

thanks Jack! The port I wanted to use was already open so I have no excuse now.

The firmware no longer supports a whole bunch of the methods that I have found with searching. That is a bummer.
The LAN ports are designated slave ports with no mechanism to remove that flag, so I cannot set a port up as a DHCP client to the second ISP.

This was my solution.

Dual WAN gigabit VPN router for $60

It works great. Speed test was double the individual connection speeds, it used both ISPs to connect. Pretty sweet deal IMO.
Configuration was straightforward, and I like the USB port so I can use one of the 5G providers for failover at the new house.

Good find, didn’t know to link made a low cost solution like that

it is nice. Tons of VPN features that I won't use, easy to set up a second lan as a guest lan, etc.
It was fun to see speedtest.net show "connections - multiple" on the report

I pay $35 a month for the second ISP and 3.1 modem rental.
The primary was a one time screamin deal from comcast for a flat $15, it could use my old Docsis 3.0 modem.

I use this personally at home for my cable internet and my VZW 5G hotspot. I only had to change the internal IP address of the hotspot as it was grabbing the same default IP address as my wifi. Works fairly decent.

We've been pretty happy with it so far. I'm not interested in messing with many of the advanced features. That's days gone by.
