    hello,

    I'm IT/network admin a little firm (<10 workers).
    i have this network fully operational :
    login-to-view

    Sometimes, we have network disruptions, my question is how take the internet from my neighbor network (using one of his lan port) in case of internet disruptions to feed my all network. Or if it is too complicated, to feed only the guestwifi ?

    Thanks,

        hello,
        first, i set a wan2 interface on the lan port 3 using vlan.

        then, i have follow this guide : https://thehomelabber.com/guides/pfsense-wan-failover/ .

        in the dns step, i set dns ip a little bit randomly (i take google for the 1st and cloudflare for the second)...
        i don't understand why we can't set same dns ip for the two.

        here, my new network login-to-view

        I realize that i had set a dns for the wan2 that i couldn't ping... i don't test if it work since now...
