      My ISP that I have my Cable TV through only allows devices on their own network to get full access to all channels, I run a load-balanced and redundant network and have priority to my faster fiber connection. Can anyone advise how I can point specific devices out a specific WAN port.

      Have a great week everyone,

      Will G.

        You can do this with policy routing.

        Set a static mapping for the TV in the DHCP server or give it static IP.

        Create an alias for private network ranges if you didn't already. Add all RFC1918 network ranges to it.

        Add a firewall rule on the LAN with the source IP of the TV and at destination use the RFC1918 alias together with "invert match" checked.
        Open the advanced options, go to gateway and select the desired WAN gateway.

        Put this rule to the top of the rule set, so that it is probed before the common outbound NAT rule.
