Hi there my name is Andrew so I also have a wisp, and has been trying to run loadballinsing of my 2 fiber routers for over a year now, I even gotten the omega loadballinser router , and ended up losing clients but with this video even my wife can do the configuration, thank you, all the way from South Africa
Among the many video tutorials on Mikrotik load-balance/failover, this one is the best for going through each step methodically; well done! Please show how to add routing rules such that the connections for specific streaming sites (RUclips, Amazon Prime, etc.) go over ISP1 and for Zoom/Teams and WhatsApp Audio/Video the connections go over ISP2. Thanks!
Hey, just came accross your video. It was very educating. I was able to configure an rb95u1 using this method. Now a question, in a case where the network is down but device is up, (meaning it responds to ping), how do i configure the router to switch to the next ISP as the preferred one is down?
thanks, i am able to create the same scenario in my home network. i had a mistake, which i found, i had kept bridge ip wrong before, so i was unable to ping to internet, but now i am able to ping to internet from my pc. how can we check if net is down but the gw is up for both isp? i am new to this mikrotik though
I suppose the way you fix the issue I discussed in the prior comment is by using the in and out interfaces, instead of specific address(es) within the mangle rule. That way do not have to worry about dynamic IP addresses. I am, of course, making an educated guess.
This router is a choice for balancing? MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM 10xGigabit Ethernet, 1.4GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, RouterOS L5 I have 2 ISPs with 200mbps internet connection
This setup had one problem though, when a device connects to a certain site, the isp that handled that connection will forever serve that connection, how do I make it that the connection is not limited to one site?
Hello Mr_Wisp.. really enjoined the video.. now i want to prioritise a site over all other sites during some periods of the day.. how can we achieve this using mikrotik.. also we want to do content filtering to control traffic to time wasting and high bandwidth puling sites.. please assist
Thanks for watching. Yes, you can prioritize a link by going to the routes that you created and change the distance. The lower the distance value, the higher the priority.
Hi Mr. WISP_254, This has been working perfectly on my Network which has the single subnet class C (/24) configured in a Single Bridge. Now I have another network of class B 172.16.X.X/16. I have segmented it into different VLANs. Which interface should I replace o the bridge interface in order to make sure that all the VLANs are served by this Load Balancing and Failover (since every VLAN is in its bridge)? Please assist
Great video. Easy to follow. Having a few issues with doing it on version 7.4 which does not allow several things. One of which is the invert which is non existent. Any thoughts?
I think that the invert option has been replaced by a checkbox that shows an exclamation mark (!) e.g. the NOT operator. That said, on my 7.7 version the whole Extra page looks very different to this video.
Great tutorial! was able to successfully configure my RB5009 with this instructions. Though it would be good if you would have a follow up video for RouterOS 7.2.3 - Some options like the invert checkbox is not there anymore.
Thank you for making the visit to this channel. I have added a link to the script on the description box. drive.google.com/file/d/15q0NlnK1PzfAK6xF6vKWjQI92R8nxg6Q/view?usp=sharing
The immediate problem I see with this setup is that my two Wan interfaces receive dynamically assigned addresses, Here we see private IP addresses (because it is a lab) being applied to the WAN ports. While I appreciate the video, it doesn't make sense IMO doing a tutorial that does not mimick real world conditions. In the real world the two ports would typically be getting dynamically assigned public addresses. Static addresses are usually used by large enterprises, not small businesses, that can afford the extra cost of statically assigned address. Putting the currently assigned address from the WAN ports will eventually break the config once those assigned addresses change.

Amazing and thanks for sharing this video. I think this is the best video I have watched on Load balancing and Failover. Thank you.
Thank you very much Sir. Very clear instructions and easy to follow. Keep up the great works !
Thank you very much my Man this video has help me setup the failover i have been wanting, i truly appreciate your tutorial, Thank you again.
Nice one , love to see our own eating Mikrotik...Thanks bro you've earned a subscriber 👍
Thanks bro
A straightforward lecture. Big thanks to you Bro and God Bless! :)
This is really great and the best video so far, need another for VRRP
The explanation is good.Keep up Mr Wisp
Hello, thank so much for the videos, kindly gives videos on ppoe and static connections of small wisp
Thanks for making this visit. I already have one on PPPOE. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/IhbEIawHjAI/видео.html
Thank you SO MUCH! This made it so easy for me.
Thank you very much for the tutorial and the script, it helps me a lot. Best regard.

Yes, you could do that as well
You are the king my brother!!!
Thank you very much; very helpful. Did you use staitic IPs or local IPs?
Thank you so much for the video
Thanks for watching.
nice tutorial, very useful. grazie!

Good question @mrwisp any solution to this ??
Thanks man..you are the best
Thanks a lot for watching.
best teacher👍
Which 2wan router do you recommend
Thanks for the tutorial!
Is it compatible with MT 4011 3 WAN 1gbps each?
Thanks for watching. Yes it is.
Hello Mr_Wisp.. really enjoined the video.. now i want to prioritise a site over all other sites during some periods of the day.. how can we achieve this using mikrotik.. also we want to do content filtering to control traffic to time wasting and high bandwidth puling sites.. please assist
thank you for sharing . please guide me which one port to connect with switch bridge port or lan ?
So this works, when i have 2 isp ? Can i have 2 sim cards in one Network ?
Thanks for the tutorial.
Is there a way to prioritize a link? Isp1 for instance?
Thanks for watching. Yes, you can prioritize a link by going to the routes that you created and change the distance. The lower the distance value, the higher the priority.
Hi i am curious. If i use this load balancer method which public ip address will my computer receive ? Will it be the ISP1 or ISP2?
Nice work! Can you provide some videos on static and dinamic routing? Thanks
Thanks a lot for the visit. I will be doing that very soon.
Well,i have 1 question. If i want specific ip run only through isp1, how can i do it? No matter isp 1 is down. I want that IP only access through isp1
Very informative
Dou you have a video configuring a isp static and other dynamic
Video coming up soon. Thanks for the visit.
Great video. I can I contact you i got some small problem with my Loadbance configeration
Thank you for sharing .... nice work !
will kindly do a video on mikrotik and hioso OLT
Hi, I followed step by step and even after using the script modified a little bit I still cant get it done

good work bro, how can i contact you directly?
you the man very helpful
How to apply pppoe/hotspot in ether 3,4,5,,hope you answer this to help,tnx....god bless to you...
Umeiva Thanks alot

Do you maybe have valid tutorial for RoS 7?
Hi.. Plz make video on 3 wan load balancing
can u you kindly arrange for 3isp please!
When you create mangle roules, you assume that ISP address will be static don`t you? What if I have dynamic ip assigned by my isp?
hey guys does this method works ? i tried couple of times and load balancing was not achieved
Thanks the tutorial please
our printer have assigned static ip it's not working how will be allow static ip for some pc's or printers please make a video on it
Followed the steps but hotspot keeps on saying no internet is there a rule that is supposed to be there..
Thanks for watching. No. There must be something that you're missing
@Frank your very right. Hotspot says no internet. Any solution
I found the solution play with your ratios well and add hotspot:auth in the output mangles
Or you can also load balance using address list to avoid all this issues just ensure all your important ips are in the address list
Thanks a lot, pls the same for router os 7. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. Will be doing that soon.
Thanks!
I followed every steps but mine did not work. On the ROUTES level my ISP1 is unreachable...
Need the script,how to get it?
and when main link isp back it will jump automatically to isp1
nice learned alot
do you have script ready to upload to mikrotik rb3011?
Thanks for the visit. I add the script to the description.
drive.google.com/file/d/15q0NlnK1PzfAK6xF6vKWjQI92R8nxg6Q/view?usp=sharing
very helpful
What should be the ip address of 2 isps
The IP addresses where obtained through DHCP Client.
Not working with RB4011
I'm looking for the script
Thank you for making the visit to this channel. I have added a link to the script on the description box.
drive.google.com/file/d/15q0NlnK1PzfAK6xF6vKWjQI92R8nxg6Q/view?usp=sharing
Thanks would you please send me a script for this
Why haven't you add DNS setting?

Why do all youtube attempts at PCC and/or failover, use the EASY fixed wanip. I want to see some courage to tackle dynamic WANIPs!!
I tried to use your script ..... it has a password log in for the router
好
Nice Nice!
Kuch web site nahi chalti
Thank you!
