I'm currently using my Beryl AX to connect to a Guest WiFI for internet access, and then my WAN port to a rack of systems on a few isolated networks. I want to be able to access both connections simultaneously.
Is this even possible, being that Multi-WAN modes are either "Failover" or "Load Balanced"?
If it is possible, are static route(s) the way to go or some other method?
Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
May I know do you want to connect and access both connections (WAN and Repeater Wi-Fi) at same time?
I think you were supposed to config the routing table of the Beryl AX, go to LuCI page, find the Static Routes, based on your network topology, set the static route (your special access is the rack of the system, means that interface is WAN), another data such as normal access will via the repeater Wi-Fi (no required to configure).
Yes, sorry... I want to connect to both interfaces at the same time. Internet via the Guest WiFI and a specific set of networks (say 10.192.0.0/16) on the WAN port.
I figured I would need to use static routes, and I've tried configuring them. However I'm getting confused by two things (perhaps more).
First - which Multi-WAN configuration do I want to use? I'm assuming Load Balance?
Second - If I need to configure a static route for the 10.192.0.0 network, which interface would I bind it to exactly?
I think I got this working? Still need to do some further testing, but things are looking promising!
I had to enable the static route, as you mentioned (thank you for that!).
But, I also had to turn off Enable Interface Status Tracking, otherwise it was only letting me use one interface to egress at a time. Once I did that, boom!
This interface status tracking issue is really a bug. I have both MT3000 and a Mango (MT300v2). There is no problem in the ethernet interface status track in MT300v2. But in MT3000 with the same parameters, it always reports connection problem and stops all connections but in fact the connection path is okay. Would GL.iNet Staff please look into this issue and fix it?
Thanks for your information about the behaviour. It is strange to me because I was using Mango and the behaviour was different. Nevertheless, I think the following should still be improved.
A note should be made in the setting screen about only public IP should be put in for interface status tracking
As the function is enabled by default, I think the actual connection should not be affected no matter the result of the function is.
