All,
After the superb advice received on here about hardware etc I now have my setup mostly working. However this final puzzle is giving me a literal headache.
I am running DSL plus EE 4G (Mikrotik SXT6) into a draytek vigor (non WiFi) which then feeds our BT whole home. The Mikrotik is in bridge mode and the Draytek is set with a gateway IP of the Mikrotik
I’m trying to configure the draytek using the routing / load balancing policies.
My intended outcome is:
1- my virtual servers route down the DSL line (WAN1) done by directing their fixed IPs to WAN1- priority 1
2- everything else goes down WAN2 (4G) with fail this over to WAN1 priority 50
So I have my routes set up for the virtual servers fine, then I have a catch all route set up with ANY ANY in the source and a priority of 50.
For a while this seemed to work, until a device rebooted then it doesn't seem to be able to connect to the internet. If I pick this device and force it to WAN1 it works...
If I kill WAN 1 and turn off all the routing, everything works fine.
The solution I have found is that if I add the Mikrotik IP address as a DNS server to my devices then they work absolutely fine but I can’t add it to some devices etc so it’s not a long term solution.
