      So I've got WAN1 with IP 123.456.789.100 and a WAN1-Gateway of IP 123.456.789.1 and a Monitor IP of 123.456.789.1.  In Status -> Gateways, this Gateway shows as Online.

      Then I have WAN2 (from a different ISP) with IP 444.555.666.100 and a WAN2-Gateway of 444.555.666.225 and a Monitor IP of 444.555.666.225.  In Status -> Gateways, this Gateway shows as OFFline.

      But here is the confusing part…

      If I go to Diagnostics -> Ping and I initiate a Ping from WAN2 to 444.555.666.225, I get very fast responses!

      If I can ping WAN2-Gateway from WAN2, why is my Gateway showing as Offline?

            Make sure your interface is enabled and that you have your gateway IP assigned in System –> Routing --> Gateways

            What routes have you created on the Firewall --> Rules pages?

            Also, can you ping from the LAN address?

                Interface is enabled.
                Gateway IP is assigned.

                What routes have you created on the Firewall –> Rules pages?

                All firewall rules are default.  I have not added or removed any rules.

                Also, can you ping from the LAN address?

                I answered that in my original post

                If I go to Diagnostics -> Ping and I initiate a Ping from WAN2 to 444.555.666.225, I get very fast responses!
