Hi,
I will setup 3 WANs and 1 LAN on my pfsense server,so i need the Gateways and Groups settings.
I need the following:
1- Add 3 Gateways in routing.

2- Load balance between 3 WANs.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 1 tier 1 , is correct or not?.

3- if Wan 1 fail, preferred load balance between Wan 2 and Wan 3.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 2 tier 2 , is correct or not?.

4- if Wan 2 fail, preferred load balance between Wan 1 and Wan 3.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 2 tier 1 tier 2 , is correct or not?.

5- if Wan 3 fail, preferred load balance between Wan 1 and Wan 2.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 2 tier 2 tier 1 , is correct or not?.

@nassman:

2- Load balance between 3 WANs.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 1 tier 1 , is correct or not?.

Yes. If you just want load balancing, that's really all you need. You don't need additional groups or anything else.

@nassman:

3- if Wan 1 fail, preferred load balance between Wan 2 and Wan 3.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 2 tier 2 , is correct or not?.

Yes. That will only use WAN1, but if it fails, it will fail to balancing 2+3.

@nassman:

4- if Wan 2 fail, preferred load balance between Wan 1 and Wan 3.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 2 tier 1 tier 2 , is correct or not?.

Yes.

@nassman:

5- if Wan 3 fail, preferred load balance between Wan 1 and Wan 2.
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 2 tier 2 tier 1 , is correct or not?.

Yes.

@nassman:

6- if wan 1 and wan 2 fail, preferred wan 3
   set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 1 tier 2 , is correct or not?

That would balance 1 and 2 and if they both fail, go to 3.

@nassman:

7- if wan 2 and wan 3 fail, preferred wan 1
  set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 2 tier 1 tier 1 , is correct or not?

Yes, see 6.

@nassman:

8- if wan 3 and wan 1 fail, preferred wan 2
  set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 2 tier 1 , is correct or not?

Yes, see 6.

@nassman:

about points 9, i not sure about it, is need or not,
9- set===>Wan 1 + 2 +3 on tier 1 tier 2 tier 3 , is correct or not?

That would prefer only wan1, if it fails, use 2. If 1 and 2 are both down, use 3.

You can make it that complex if you want, but if you really just want load balancing, you just need one group with 1, 2, 3 all in tier 1.

The rest only needs to be as complex as you want to make it.

thank you jimp,

if i use one group with 1, 2, 3 all in tier 1, if any WAN fail, will others WANs work with out i add any other groups.
thanks

That's correct. If one fails it will just balance the other two. If two fail it will use whichever one is left over.

thank you very much.
