You're a saviour man! :-) No, really - with your video I've got everything running as expected in less than 10 minutes! After spending a few hours trying to follow even the "official" documentation and forums, and… One big THANK YOU
Awesome. For your next one can you make it about WAN load balancing and failover? Also, when will Scoop start selling Mikrotik books; MTCNA, MTCRE, MTCWE, MTCTCE, etc.? I can't seem to find them on anything but Amazon. Also, please start doing unboxings and reviews of your range of devices. Currently thinking of the upcoming Mikrotik ATL LTE18 kit, but I think the reviews will help when we search for them on Google and if you guys have a video and maybe a blog Google will show your content and make you the authority on those... vis a vis more sales for Scoop.
when we can expect the video about setting notifications for failover and also making Logs in the system. ? highly appreciate it if you could provide this.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial Tim. I believe Scoop must have a really awesome network setup, please may you show us your work network setup. The failover is really good, but how would you set up for situations when the main link is up but latencies are high, or the connection is intermittent?
Thank you for you comments and we will definitely look at showing some more interesting setups. Netwatch would be more suitable for latency sensitive failover and would recommend checking out Mikrotik's video - ua-cam.com/video/qK0aUo4B5Tc/v-deo.html
Would really appreciate a step by step video on Dual WAN (dynamic IP) with failover/load balancing. I have searched high and low but cannot find a clear tutorial on this.
did exactly as you explained and it works when manualy testing, but on every day use my first internet goes down like once every hour. when checking routes, one or both dns addresses is offline and never realy switches as they come back before it happens. :( causing about 30sec outage
If both my WANs are PPPoE clients, I do not need the recursive routes or the check gateway right? Because if one PPPoE fails, it should automatically failover to the other one.
Is it possible to configure some action/script on failover? like for example I have second connection to LTE modem that is powered using PoE and want to define some action/script that when failover occures to second port it will enable PoE on this port?
I think i will lose connectivity to the DNS declared in the specific routes, untill the ISP goes back online. The DNS added as recursive are always routed through the same ISP, so I won't have routes to those DNS thorough the secondary ISP. Is that right?
Thats correct. These are just some examples of well known IP's that rarely become unreachable but you could replace them with something more preferable to your setup
how about multiple load balancing using 3 WANS or Multiple Failover using 3 WANs but 2 WANs are load balancing and if 1 fails the 3rd ISP or WAN will be active?

Good. However I would have liked to see a deeper explanation about what scope and target scope are really about, and how they work. Thanks
Thank you for providing this valuable resource!
its really usefull and really simple but real time handling snario for failover.
i really appriciate it . thanks.
Really helpful and very well made short video! Thanks a lot!
This is an incredibly slick technical / marketing video. Well done.
Excellent, I had tried watching other videos and this one works. Greetings from Chiapas, Mexico. Thank you.
Nice vid Tim!
Thanks for creating this video! i will test it on my Router.
Mr Tim you are excllent, just simplifying everything ,great work Go on !!
epic tier level explanation. thank you very much for this
Thanks very much! Great Tutorial...do you plan a video about failover notification e.g. to Discord?
Thanks for the video, please share link to the video of how to set up notification
Great explanation. Thanks.

Load balancing is on the cards 😃You should consider attending our official Mikrotik training course.
@Scoop Distribution - South Africa the training is worth it. Been to a few myself.
This was very helpful. Thank you!!!
Nice and simple :)
You can also do failover with route mapping.
Great content my man 🎉 love the tutorial.

It's easier than everyone is making it look.
Thanks Tim

great video is this ppoe or dhcp setup i tried to set it up as ppoe and it wont let me disable the first route any help
Can you throw the config export into a github gist or something? Thx!
Is it possible to configure some action/script on failover? like for example I have second connection to LTE modem that is powered using PoE and want to define some action/script that when failover occures to second port it will enable PoE on this port?
This can be achieved with Netwatch. Check Mikrotik's video here - ua-cam.com/video/qK0aUo4B5Tc/v-deo.html

What Mikrokit device can I buy to do this procedure?
This will work on any Mikrotik device which has multiple interfaces
What about NAT? I have two WAN IPs which are public address from ISPs. Does one need to write two NAT rules for internet failover to work?
We would recommend two separate src-nat rules
how about multiple load balancing using 3 WANS or Multiple Failover using 3 WANs but 2 WANs are load balancing and if 1 fails the 3rd ISP or WAN will be active?
I'm also interested in this.
Will definitely take into consideration for a future video
but ports redirection does not work on second wan :(
Will this work for a wan address that assigned dynamically?
If its a PPP interface then you can use the interface name as the gateway.
what about the mangle rules part?
We might do a separate video on using Mangle in multi WAN scenarios

if I have two provider routers overboard
I wish it had worked for me.
