Dual Wan - where to put my public wifi traffic
-
I'm setting up Dual WAN and looking for advice on how to manage my public wifi traffic.
Primary is a 20x20 Fiber to Ethernet.
Secondary is 15x2 cable.
Should I 'force' the public wifi traffic to the secondary 15x2
or
leave all traffic on the same gateway as the business traffic, but force the public wifi subnet to a low traffic priority?Anyone have any experience with this? Thoughts or feedback appreciated.
End game is to have failover for the business traffic network and reliable public wifi. Right now I suspect neither WAN runs at full capacity.

When you say public do you mean guest wifi?
I would prob let them just use the secondary link if your not using that in a load balance setup and all your normal business traffic is on the 20x20 without issues. Once you have to failover to backup I would prob nix all the "guest" wifi traffic all together.

Guest network = guest wifi / VLAN30 - it's a public hotspot using the captive portal.
Thanks for the input.
I'm open to other ideas. We are wanting maximum uptime; CARP/ pfSync - but also not wanting to create unnecessary complexity.
