====== Mikrotik RouterOS Multi-WAN PPC howto  ======

This guide assumes the following:

"ISP1" is your 1st wan connection name
"ISP2" is your 2nd wan connection name
"LAN" is your local network name

"ISP1" recieves the IP 111.111.111.1/24 on the network 111.111.111.0/24
"ISP2" recieves the IP 222.222.222.1/24 on the network 222.222.222.0/24

1. If your ISP assigned IP's via DHCP be sure to do the following (if they are assigned static move to step 2):

Log into the routeros webfig or winbox:

  *     IP
  *     DHCP Client
  *     Click on your first WAN DHCP client
  *     Change "add default gateway" to no
  *     Repeat the same for your second WAN connection


2. Remove current routing rules

  *     IP
  *     Firewall
  *     Nat
  *     Remove the entry for "masquerade" to your current single ISP.


3. SSH into your router and run the following script:
<code bash>

/ ip firewall mangle
