ER605: Link backup not working
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hey everyone, so I've had my router for 1 month thinking it was working as intended, but today my main ISP is having a general outage, and I just found out that the router is not really working. Doing a bit of search on the forums I found 3 threads and none of them are resolved, so it's kind of worrying:

WAN Port: High speed ISP with fiber
WAN/LAN1 Port: Other ISP VDSL connection
Load Balancing: Enabled
Link Backup Rule: WAN Primary, WAN/LAN1 Backup
Mode: Backup when any primary WAN fails
Online Detection: I have tried automatic and manual with 1.1.1.1
As seen in this last screenshot, my main WAN is correctly detected as offline, but I'm not getting any internet connection from the WAN/LAN1. On the WAN status page, it shows as Connected, which is expected because it's still physically connected and has an IP and all that:
I've tried many of the things that people said in the other threads, but the only thing that makes the WAN/LAN1 connection work is if I either physically disconnect WAN, or click on the Disconnect button on the screen above.
Honestly this just doesn't make any sense and any help would be very appreciated.
