when I unplugged WAN2 load balancer status showed all UP and could only ping some IPS, could not open www so DNS was somehow disabled.

you need to have different default gateways for fail-over to work

do you have that?
If you haven't already then use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers

mst

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 were used as main DNS'es

You should not be using sticky with outbound load balancing. Disable this.

OK I will disable it and test it…..

Thank You

WAN fail-over 2 ISP's (Comcast) works. The only load balance I believe is not working correctly. I set it as in guide for 1.2.x. and they looks like ….

From my understanding if I open two www pages one should go through WAN1 and the other one through WAN2 - right? If yes then both go through the same WAN1 interface.

Please advice
