I am so glad I found this discussion board. I dig up my old WRT54G V.2 router and want to use dual wan setup. I have 2 5100 cable modems which i will be using for this setup. Could someone please guide me to correct path on what I need to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

even though it says -j ETH1 or -j SPOOF_ETH1, that isn't the physical ETH1....its the first interface of the dual wan, either ppp0 or vlan1, whatever is defined.
your rules wont work like that.
and you want vlan2hwname=et0
et0 is the switch. _________________

Second, I have two ADSL modem-routers, each connected to a different phone line.
I think the easiest way to do dual wan would be to put both of them in "router mode" so, they could establish the pppoe connection in each line and then use the scripts in previous post or something like this: http://www.roadrunnerguide.com/dualwan.html
My problem is: none of the routers can handle too many connections (they hang, thats why I bought the WRT54GL in the first place). Instead on bridge mode they work perfectly!
So I want to connect both of them in bridge mode. I mean: the two routers in bridge mode and the WRT54GL "dials" both connections.
Is that possible?
Great thread!
I've read all 49 pages and have been noting several inquiries about N based units. I am very interested in getting Dual WAN mode with a WRT350N, using 2 of the GB ports for WANs. We have T1 at the office and wired for GB. So, if someone can help me get this working, it'll be Glorious! I'd donate regardless of the outcome. Plan is to use a 350N, Dual GB WANs, with load balancing, connected to 2 WRT300N's in Client Bridge mode with 7 users in 2 separated offices, all hardwired to the the 300Ns.
So, has anyone been successful getting John's scripts working with a 350N?
Thanks to John and all the contributors. Even if it isn't possible yet, it's been a great read!
I have the following setup: 1 wall WAN outlet split into two by a switch. Two cables are then connected from the switch to WAN-port and port4 on the WRT54GL v1.1 and everything is configured like here (followed www.roadrunnerguide.com step-by-step)
I have come to this - but the VLAN2 doesn't seem to be used, even though it's been assigned a seperate IP?
It's on the same network ofcourse, is that a problem? I've seen that mentioned before in this thread, haven't found an explanation yet though. Hope someone can help.

Apex - if you have read 49 pages of this post, you will realise, there is not much to it.... where are you getting stuck. I have 300N (same as 350N, except for the mem module) and had this working on it....

Greetings, and forgive my ugly English. (I'm from argentina)
I have configured the pppoE like this.
Link 1 - pppoe, ADSL - terminated to a adsl router (Router 1 - Ganga wifi enabled)
Link 2 - WiMax CPE - terminated to Simple wifi router (Router 2 - Yamuna wifi enabled)
Link 3 - Ethernet based leased line - terminated on my third router (Router3 - Sarswati wifi enabled)
On my dd-wrt router (Router 4 - Sangam) I run, triple WAN. to consolidate all three links on the wan port.
QoS enabled on all routers.
Based on my family needs, I have given them access to different routers - my torrents, PS3, Xbox, Jukebox - all of them on sangam.
This is probably what you implied you wanted to run - do let me know, if you are facing any problems.
regards,
asinha
The easiest way would be to put both adsl routers in router mode, then asign an IP in DMZ in each one and use a script in the WRT54GL to handle these two VLANS with static IP... but with that I think I would have double NAT.
Additionally, neither is stable in router mode, but in bridge mode both works flawlessly. That's why I want to dial 2 pppoe connections, but don't know how to do with the second one.
mini. If someone can direct me how to get dual wan working with this, i would appreciate it.
