nbamaral4098135dBut, do you want to balance traffic or just a fallback?
A simple spanning-tree on the 2 exit ports haa worked well for me in the past. Just fine tune and test both priorities and costs, and go with rapid-pvst. -
nicogramm552135d@bigus-dickus the simplest thing I can think of would be an EdgeRouter X from Ubiquity. Costs like 50 Dollars and can do load balancing and all sort of stuff like vpn and stuff. Or you could build your own router running pfSense

++ for EdgeRouter X
Either you set up load balancing or you set up 2 separate DHCP subnets with each of his own gateway and proper routing tables on the gateways for outgoing & subnet to subnet routing. -

I just bought this one :
TP-Link TL-R470T + Load Balance Broadband Router
https://tp-link.com/us/products/...
It has yet to arrive. Even if it does, I have no freaking idea how to set it up.
Thank y'all for your responses! -
Stark558132d@bigus-dickus I was only looking at them so that I could load balance my internet connection.
Does anyone here know how to setup a dual gateway network?
Router-1 connects to the internet via ISP-1
Router-2 connects to the internet via ISP-2
Both the routers are in the same building. Obviously, the server system can only remain connected to one router. I'd like to set up the network in such a way that:
-All systems connected to both the routers can communicate with each other and of course the server.
-If the internet connectivity from one router goes down, all the nodes in the network must automatically use the other ISP.
