<p dir="auto">I have two connections to internet<br />
WAN, a 4G mobile connection via a Dovado Tiny AC router in bridgemode. (IP via DHCP)<br />
OPT1, standard ADSL connection. (IP via DHCP)<br />
I have WAN as default gateway.</p>
<p dir="auto">Before upgrading everything worked fine. After upgrade, my WAN connection started to go down every ~620 sec.</p>
<p dir="auto">After some research I found that it has to do with the DHCP of my OPT1 connection. Why? Every time the OPT1 request a new leas the WAN goes down. this I found out monitoring the connections with ping</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, looking at the log the OPT1 makes multiple requests for a ned DHCP leas</p>

<p dir="auto">The strange thing is, setting OPT1 as default gateway, instead of WAN, eliminates the problem. The WAN connection keeps up and the log looks ok</p>

<p dir="auto">This came when upgrading to 2.4.4.</p>
<p dir="auto">How is it possible that the OPT1 connection can interfere with the WAN connection?</p>
<p dir="auto">Any advice?</p>

<p dir="auto">Are you running 2.4.4p2? There were some default gateway issues in 2.4.4.</p>
