Hi Van Tech Corner, Do you have your own documentation, or documentation that goes into more detail about "OpenWRT Load Balancing with mwan3". Not only the "install / configuration" but also all the other features it has.

very good tutorial. Now wanb needs to be atached to a bridge otherwise it won't connect. Also I need help with UPNP that stoped working after this is configured...

[@kparoboorugbo9249]

can you please explain how i can allow particular protocol use a particular gateway

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, you can take a look at the "customs routing" tab. It allows you to configure the gateway base on IP & protocol.

[@yagopiccini9231]

Followed the tutorial. Wan6 and Wan6b appear online in loadbalance status. However in Windows the status of the ipv6 is "No internet access" and performing the testipv6 it appears that I am not with it active. What's the problem?

[@VanTechCorner]

Did you get the IPv6 connection up and running before settinh up mwan3? In order word, does your ISP support IPv6?

[@yagopiccini9231]

@@VanTechCorner Yes both ISP provide ipv6 and work on Openwrt or other system. But when performing the mwan3 this happens.

Sir help me pls why my mwan just can workin on speedtest i try for watch youtube and download any files it not worked and just using 1 interface but in the speedtest it can use 2 interface and balanced pls help

[@VanTechCorner]

The problem is that your application (KZbin) doesn't support multiple connections. Mwan3 only load balancing, it doesn't bound all available throughput of the 2 interfaces.

Hi, van tech corner, great tutorial. I just wonder, what if the bandwidth of each port is not equal, can we still load balance it?

[@VanTechCorner]

Yes, but in this case you should set the correct weight & metric for the interfaces.

[@spinx73]

@@VanTechCorner that's what I want to ask, can you give me example

[@VanTechCorner]

Well, that is a lot of calculation. If you just get started to mwan3, you better follow my video to get it work first. After that, check the official mwan3 document and learn how to adjust it. Here is the key points: - Member interfaces with the same metric will be load-balanced - Load-balanced member interfaces distribute more traffic out those with higher weights openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/multiwan/mwan3

[@spinx73]

@@VanTechCorner yes I followed your instruction and it works well, but since it has different bandwidth for WAN and WANB, the result is not very satisfy for me. . but anyway thanks for you answer, I will look at your link to get more clear. thanks

hi, thanks for your video, just a question, when i tried to create a new interface, in my devices section i d'ont have lan ports separately, can you tell me please how can i fix it ? openwrt 21.02

May I know the router model? Maybe your device is still using swconfig, if yes you should see the Switch menu in Network section.

Still the same setting, you just need to specify the correct interface name for that 4G connection.

Hello,I would like to ask a question, the openWrt router is configured with a lot of wireguard protocol VPN WAN ports, and then I use Mwan3 to split the traffic, so that a specific internal IP goes out through a specific wireguard WAN port, everything runs normally, but there is a small problem that the router has just turned on For about 10 seconds, before Mwan3 is automatically loaded, the all traffic will go out through the default local ISP WAN port. Is there any solution to make the router go out through the WAN port of the wireugard protocol as soon as it is powered on, and never go through the local ISP WAN port? .Thank you so much.

[@VanTechCorner]

You can see the Kill Switch. openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/wireguard/extras

[@Satoshi_Nakamoto123]

Set br-lan to delay startup, and wait for all interfaces of wireaguard to start up and Mwan3 to be loaded before starting br-lan. Is this solution ok? But I also don't know how to set br-lan to delay startup for about 1 minute.

Hi, I have a Newifi router running with openwrt 19.07.4. I installed MWAN3 software to configure a Dual-WAN FAILOVER from WAN to WAN2 I also installed NFTABLES software to configure BANDWIDTH LIMIT PER IP. Now here's the catch and also my problem, - I want the WAN to perform at full speed of bandwidth which doesn't have any problem in my experience ✅ -I want to configure the WAN2 with BANDWIDTH LIMIT PER IP when WAN lost its connection. Now, when I configure BANDWIDTH LIMIT PER IP on NFTABLES it applies to WAN and WAN2 which is a pain in the *ss 😑 My question is. Is there a way that NFTABLES applies only to WAN2 for BANDWIDTH LIMIT PER IP while WAN is in full-speed?

[@VanTechCorner]

Sorry I can't help you with this as this is too advance. Either you should go to the OpenWRT forum or contact the maintainer of the package for further information.

[@NoHandleToSpeakOf]

I wonder how it will work with dynamic DNS and port forwards?

[@VanTechCorner]

You can create custom routing and select the interface on the "Rules" section of the mwan3 application.

@@rowelbarrios4945 Yes it is normal as mwan3 doesn't combine the throughput of all your WAN interfaces. Also, check the CPU usage during the test. Perhaps the CPU reach 100% usage with slow down the speed.

hi , i like your videos nad i have a question , can we use loadblancing and wireguard VPN as client in the same time with maximum bandwide? cuz i tryed but every time wireguard just using one of my wans and didnt use full bandwide of my wans

[@VanTechCorner]

Hello, Wireguard will establish the connection to 1 endpoint IP (server) thus it will be using just 1 WAN connection. You can play around and try to create the load balance of 2 wireguard interfaces, but I have yet to test if it is working.

But my next door neighbours wifi password (They gave me) I knew so I was using my router as a wifi repeater and used wifi more than a year with no problem. Their line speed is 20 mbps. Recently i bought home broadband line myself. That is also 20 mbps I was thinking can i combine both line via openwrt. As my router is very capable. So i was thinking Like using fiber cable 20 mbps + neighbours wifi repeater 20 mbps = 40 mbps Is that possible? If possible can anyone guide me please!
