Planning to get MikroTik Router. Mikrotik users are welcome.

No lolita I don’t intend to test the bandwidth just need your help in setting the failover option, the Mikrotik consultant is not too economical for me. Just guide the steps please. Photo attached above was a sample to which options do I need to look into to set it up.

Ok, what is your current setup? And what type/kind of internet are we connecting?

 

[anmolbhard004]

airtel and jio
airtel is primary and static jio will be dhcp as usual

Mikrotik hAP ax^2 user here, it has been running rock solid
I'd recommend to avoid MIPS based stuff if you can, because it will be EoL sooner.

I am assuming, your router is running stock.
We will assume, Airtel will be on Port1(Ether1) and Jio Ether2.

1. Go to Bridge > Ports and disable Ether2.
2. Go to PPP > + (icon) > PPPoE-Client.

>> General > Interfaces > set (Ether1)
>> Dial-Out > user: [email protected] ||| pass: 1234 > select Add Default Route > Default Router Distance : 10
> OK

3. Go to IP > DHCP Client > + (icon)

>> interface ether2. > untick peer dns/ntp. > add default route yes.
>> Advanced > Default Route Distance : 11
> OK

4. Go to Interfaces > Interface List > + (icon)

>> List WAN > add interface pppoe-out1 >> OK
>> + (icon) > List WAN > add interface ether2 >> OK

With this technically, you should be done.
Since, Jio will always be backup, and you don't really need anything to check for its uptime, while Airtel we are relying on the PPPoE state.

Else, you can use a recursive method, where it will ping a specific DNS to check uptime… I'll write it down later if you want, try and test if the above is good enough for you.

@Lolita_Magnum airtel is static ip

Ah, well, here are the changes.
Airtel will be on Port1(Ether1) and Jio Ether2.

1. Go to Bridge > Ports and disable Ether2.

2. Go to IP > DHCP Client > + (icon)

interface ether2. > untick peer dns/ntp. > add default route yes.
Advanced > Default Route Distance : 3

You may also completely skip, point 2 and add Jio via point 3, but then you'd need to do the additional optional mentioned below.

3. Go to IP > Addresses > + (icon)

Address > 122.19.254.2/25 (Your Airtel IP)
Interface > Ether1.

4. Go to Interfaces > Interface List > + (icon)

List WAN > add interface ether1
+ (icon) > List WAN > add interface ether2

We will be creating recursive only for the Primary.

5. Go to IP > Routes

• (icon) > Dst. Address : 1.1.1.1/32 || Gateway : 122.19.245.1%ether1 (GatewayIP%interface) || Distance : 1 || Scope : 10 || Target Score : 10
• (icon) > Dst. Address : 0.0.0.0/0 || Gateway : 1.1.1.1 || Check Gateway : ping || Distance : 1 || Scope : 30 || Target Score : 11

6. For Jio (Optional)
Slight modification on point 2. >>

Add default route no.
[Ignore, if you set up Jio using point 3. Then, directly proceed with below]

Go to IP > Routes

• (icon) > Dst. Address : 8.8.8.8/32 || Gateway : 192.168.29.1%ether2 (GatewayIP%interface) || Distance : 1 || Scope : 10 || Target Score : 10
• (icon) > Dst. Address : 0.0.0.0/0 || Gateway : 8.8.8.8 || Check Gateway : ping || Distance : 3 || Scope : 30 || Target Score : 11
