[Dual WAN] Routing rules not applying [AC68U]

[thps2k2]

Hi,

I first posted about an issue with HTML text appearing in the config tables on my routing tables, however this has since been resolved.

I'm now having an issue where my routing rules are being ignored with a load balancing setup.

Basically, I want all traffic originating from the machine with IP address 192.168.1.111 to use the primary WAN. Every other device on the network will have both connections available.

Could anyone give me any pointers?

...how about swapping source and destination IPs in your config?

Unfortunately still the same.

The machine 192.168.1.111, is still using both connections.

Try command:

ip rule add from 192.168.1.111 table 100

If it doesn't work then you need to use these diagnostic commands:

ip rule
ip route show table 100
ip route show table 200

to see if 192.168.1.111 is actually using the correct WAN table (100 - Primary, 200 - Secondary)

Sorry to sound thick, where am I sticking that command?

Instead of using 0.0.0.0, try leaving the destination field empty

On the command line?

You will need to enable SSH access on the Administration page

then use PuTTY/Xshell5 etc. to connect to the router's command prompt.

You be quiet with your logical answers
