    Hello Afrugone

    Thank for ur help, its work with u, btw for me it still not work.

    I don't get any errors when I create the group but when you go back into the newly created group wan2 is now listed as tier "never" I have tried every combination of tier settings and the second interface will always be set back to never after saving and applying config. If I just select a tier for wan2 it will error with:
    The following input errors were detected:

    * No gateway(s) have been selected to be used in this group

    Have any of you had a similar problem or am I missing something with Gateway Groups?

    i have try to configure groups and showing failure notice
    can u tell me what version of ALPHA use

    regards

    kambeeng

      Hi, kambeeng

      As you can see in my dashboard screenshot version is August 1, other important think is that both wan are connected to two routers using DHCP,  NOT using PPOE directly to pfsense, I think development for multiwan PPOE is not 100% ready

      Remenber to set up a Firewall Rule as shown in my previous post

      This is my test network configuration:

        As a side note suggested to me by the dev that did the new outgoing loader balancer.

        If you are on pppoe find the pppoe gateway and use it on the Gateways tab. Usually the gateway of pppoe does not change only its ip does. In this way you can do outbound load balancing till the full featured one is finished. this gives you the ability to load balance 2 pppoe connection if one wishes.

              Since you copied my post from another thread and reposted it under your name I figured the least I could do would be to solve your problem for you. To prevent the Tier never error from occurring remove all special characters from the names of your gateways. Special characters seem to include capital letters and spaces. I have not tested it with numbers but I would leave them out for good measure.

              Regards

                  The only think not working for me is failover, any special hint for this?

                    Firewall Rule:

                    Proto: *
                    Source: LAN Net
                    Port:*
                    Destination:*
                    Port:*
                    Gateway:"Select load balanced gate from drop down"
                    Queue:none
                    Schedule:n/a

                    Not sure what the Outbound NAT would be for 1.3 should be something like:
                    Interface:?
                    Source: 192.168.0.1/24 "or whatever you use"
                    Destination: Any
                    Gateway:"Put Load Balanced Gateway Here"

                    I haven't checked AON in 1.3 so I'm not sure if using AON is even an option for this. Maybe someone else can comment.

                    BTW I'm not an authority on PFSense by any means. Please correct me if I make a mistake.

                        I've updated to latest versions, and now everything is working including failover.

                            Description of how tiers work.

                            This might be best explained by viewing you configuration on the Status -> Gateways -> Gateway Groups tab.

                            All gateways within the same tier will load balance.
                            When all gateways in the tier are down we will use the next tier with a gateway.

                            For example, when you want to load balance WAN1, WAN2 and use WAN3 if all else fails, then:
                            WAN1 Tier 1
                            WAN2 Tier 1
                            WAN3 Tier 2

                            When You want to load balance WAN1, WAN2 and WAN3, then:
                            WAN1 Tier 1
                            WAN2 Tier 1
                            WAN3 Tier 1

                            When You want to failover from WAN 1, to load balancing WAN2 and WAN3, then:
                            WAN1 Tier 1
                            WAN2 Tier 2
                            WAN3 Tier 3

                            I hope this explains.

                                Hello databeestje

                                Need ur help pls.

                                I have configure load balance also failed over as ur suggested.
                                i indicator are working…. which both gateway Wan1 & Wan2.
                                Btw if i disconnected modem one of them.

                                For example.

                                I use 2 modem adsl with speed 1mbps.
                                1. Vigor (Daytrex)
                                2. DLINK

                                everything is ok if i used both modem i mine (LoadBalance) speed will increased.
                                But if I disconnected Vigor and I want used only DLINK, its not working its diferent with 1.2 , everything is better both loadbalance and failde over.

                                any suggested for this case

                                regards

                                  It's wild guess, as i haven't tried 1.3 loadbalancing yet, but could it be a DNS resolve problem.
                                  try 208.69.34.230 in browser
