Hi, I had to create an account just to ask this question because I've been struggling with this issue for days now.

I have two internet providers: one with automatic IP connection and the other with PPPoE connection. Both work without any issues, but now I want to use them in Dual WAN mode on my ASUS RT-AX88U Pro router.
When I set the PPPoE provider as the primary WAN and the automatic IP one as the secondary, everything works fine (primary WAN connected and secondary WAN in standby). However, when I reverse the setup, making the automatic IP provider the primary WAN and the PPPoE provider the secondary, I get the error below on the secondary WAN:

Any idea on how to solve this issue? Thank you in advance!
