      I have two WANs with

      • load balancing setup
      • wan1 failover wan2
      • wan2 failover wan1

      WAN1 / weight 1 / fibre / pppoe /vlan
      WAN2 / weight 2 / cable / eth

      after reboot or (i think the fibre connection is reset by the isp each day), the default route shows as WAN2.
      my questions are;

      • why does the default route start/show on wan2
      • is it possible to reschedule the the reloading of all the routes to ensure everything is reloaded i.e. in case one of the lines has been reset by the ISP

        @gwaitsi so after re-reading the gateway groups section, i see the default gateway as a load balance pair is an invalid option. i had to select a failover pair.
        but i would still like to refresh once a day, so if a failover has occured, the default switches back to WAN1 as the default
