      Hi!

      As far as I understand (newbie), for multiwan load balancing and failover you need both "wan" cards connected to different ISP, is that true?  Or is there any way I can connect both wan cards to the same ISP?

      Thanks!

        You can use the same ISP, but you cannot use the same router.  You need two separate routes to the Internet.

        I use Optimum for my residential and business.  I have two separate routers with two different addresses.  That way pfSense sees them as two different routes and can multiwan between them.
