Started using dual wan setting with usb modem as secondary wan. And noticed a huge bug.
There are no ip, dns, gateway etc. settings for secondary wan when you use usb modem.
This means that when you use usb modem as secondary wan - it tries to get the same ip, tries to use same dns and so on - using your isp settings from primary wan settings page (my isp gives fixed ip, dns, etc settings). Sure secondary wan gets lots of errors because cellular 3g modem wan should get absolutely different ip, use it's own gateway, dns and so on.

@RMerlin Any chance to fix it? Current settings cause serious problems..

Firstly I would hope that both WAN interfaces (eth0/usb0) have unique IPs and gateways...check if your assertion is true using commands

Code:
ip  rule
ip  route
ip  route   show   table   100
ip  route   show   table   200

Although some USB modems will assign 192.168.x.x which if this is the same as your LAN could cause an issue, in which case you could always change your LAN to say 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
