This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I'm attempting to do policy based routing, directing all LAN traffic to/from a website over a specific WAN (WAN/LAN1) port. Basically one WAN has a higher upload rate so I want to use that interface. I'm also using the Omada OC200 controller.
I've created an IP Group with the destination IP address (cloudflare), so my setup looks like the following image below. However, traffic is still being routed over my primary WAN ("WAN").
I've enabled link backup (and that works), but unlike the ER605 interface there isn't a specific "Enable Load Balancing" checkbox on the Omada web interface.
Am I missing something? This seems like it should be possible/should work, but it's not.

@d0ugmac1 First off, sorry about the bother and thanks once again. I feel I have everything set up correctly, but when I set up the rules my traffic gets directed to WAN/LAN1 and not WAN. Would you mind checking these out to see if they look correct.
WAN: Starlink
WAN/LAN1: Local Provider
(load balancing, etc. not turned on)
Here are the images of the set up pages and ip groups. It seems like they should be correct. The first one should take priority and then the other one should take over. My local IP addresses are in the 192.168.20 range. You mentioned something about IPGroup_Any not being correct but all the tp link docs show this...
Anyway...thanks for any insights.

What happens if you ping your dish?
ping 192.168.100.1
Does it respond or timeout?
If it times out, is your Starlink WAN 'up' according to Omada?

@d0ugmac1 -- Starlink is up and pingable. Though there have been Starlink outages this week so it's been a bit of a PITA to debug at times ha!
The minute I turn off the Cloudflare policy rule, all traffic goes to the Starlink WAN (instead of WAN/LAN1).
Here's a super quick screen recording showing this:

Ever consider that your tool (whatsmyip) might be using cloudflare?
Try this
tracert 8.8.8.8 (windows)
traceroute 8.8.8.8 (*nix)
Then repeat with a cloud flare ip

OMG.
No I had not. But a quick DNS check for whatismyipaddress.com shows that it points to the exact cloudflare range where my cloudflare R2 object storage is located as well. And the traceroute confirms that.
So simple! Sigh. Forest
Thanks for lending another eye on it.
