Hi,
USG110 Firewall.
Can I run a dual WAN with WAN1 being the main internet connection and WAN2 being used for port forwarding from the outside?  
Also I would setup a failover feature in case WAN1 is down but most interested in the port forwarding on WAN2.

WAN1 would be LTE internet from T Mobile.  They use a carrier grade nat so no access from the outside on the T Mobile system.  
WAN2 would be a PTP connection being served by a fiber modem on a neighboring Island.  Fiber modem has static IP address and allows for port forwarding.

  • Nobody here knows if I can use WAN1 for everyday internet while at the same time use WAN2 to port forward into various devices on the network?

    Should be possible just I don't have that setup.

    Is the  LTE internet from T Mobile by USB?

    as for WAN2 I guess you setup a PPP for a PTPP connection that you can NAT incoming connections. 
  • The LTE from T Mobile uses one of their modems that has a network jack output.  That jack is connected to P1 on the USG.

    The WAN2 is point to point what I was referring to as PTP.  The radio has cat5 out that is connected to P2 on the USG.

    So PTP you need to enter user name and password by pptp, pppoe or l2tp
  • For the PTP i have a fiber modem located on San Juan Island.  That fiber modem sends internet to an Araknis 310 router.  Out of the LAN on the Araknis the cat5 goes to a Cambium Force 300-25 radio and antenna.  The Cambium sends the signal wirelessly 1.25 miles to Henry Island.  

    On Henry Island we have another Cambium Force 300-25 and the cat5 goes from this radio into P2 on the USG110.

    Hi @ModHomeTech,

     

    For that first please create 2 interface IP address object for LTE and PPPoE interfaces;



    Then create new trunk interface, set LTE interface as active, PPPoE as passive;



    Then please create a NAT from PPPoE interface;



    Best regards.
