      @doktornotor:

      @kejianshi:

      So, you have primary comcast modem directly into pfsense, then failover to comcast modem > router > pfsense, then DSL > pfsense?

      In that order of precedence?

      This thread is plain hopeless. Now we have DSL in play as well… we started with one cable modem going "down"...

      @OP: Stop wasting people's time and post relevant screenshots of your configuration if you want any help. This gets beyond silly.

      Please refrain from being rude.  If you think it is a waste of time and do not wish to participate in the thread, then don't.  Nobody forcing you too.  Don't believe the OPer ever asked for an opinion of the setup.  Not everyone is at your level of networking knowledge, nor have your same objectives, and learning is rarely silly or waste of time.

        I was going to recommend he make the NON-NATed comcast modem his primary, NON-NATed DSL his secondary and NATed (with router) redundant comcast 3rd in line.

        I don't know enough to be rude to anyone else (-:

          @kejianshi: Apparently was not aimed at you… :)

          We are at post 22 now, and know exactly zero about the actual configuration in place. The target of the thread has meanwhile move from a dead simple pf => cable modem to 3 WANs with unspecified configuration (was load balancing originally, then allegedly failover, and god knows what's really set up there. As a bonus we got another redundant router in place somewhere… I cannot see what's anyone learning here, beyond how not to ask questions if you want to get something solved.

            Actually a few posts back seem to indicate that the OPer learned quite a bit.

            All those details being asking for are not always necessary in order to provide guidance to enable the student to proceed with their learning.  Sometimes they just need pointing in the right direction so they can figure it out instead of having the answer handed to them on a silver platter.

              I am not sure why there is still discussion. I just removed the wnr3500l and all is well.

              I just hid it because my two modem seemed to be too complicated and I didn't want to make it even more complicated since the problem was not related to the fail over, just the wnr3500l.

              Thanks again, no need to angry.

                I wasn't angry.  Glad it works.
