[Feature request] Select preferred WAN on each device in clients list

Technical Support for Routers

I need to have 2 WANs to provide redundancy, my first is ONT which latency is 2ms, my second WAN is Starlink which latency is ~25ms, my ONT is priority, but I cannot set Starlink as failover because it tends to sleep. So I set both as load balance, ONT load ratio 10 and Starlink load ratio 1.
Then thing is that WAN assignation is an ENIGMA because sometimes many clientes are using Starlink and ONT is underutilized.
If I would be able to set a preferred WAN on each client, would be great; in that case low performance devices could be assigned to high latency WAN.

If there's a way to solve it without glinet UI, please tell me.

I manage about 50 clients between wireless, ethernet and guest, all together.

Thanks in advance.

Multi-WAN Load Balance is not guaranteed to match the set ratio of 10:1.
Try to disconnect starlink for a few hours before restoring it, observe if the flow ratio is normal.

Note, the interface traffic statistics from ifconfig or "LUCI > Status > Realtime Graphs" for closed-source firmware may not be accurate because some network driver adapters are less compatible.
Please According to the statistics of WAN superior device (ISP modem or starlink).

If it does not meet your expectations, try the third-party plugin "MWAN3":
