I'd like to try this on my WRT54GL v1.1 but I can't find the v24-sp2 firmware. Do I have to purchase the Special Edition firmware from the store in order to get this?
Also how well does this Dual WAN setup work on the WRT54GL router? Is it stable?
Follow the directions exactly.. Know that the maximum download throughput of the GL is around 28Mbs.. I have two 30/2 Mb connections running and see no increase in downloads, but upload peaks at around 600KB/s now.. I'm happy..
Thanks Citizen! I tried it and it worked but I am running into issues. Both of my cable modems are from the same ISP and it seems like it interchanges between the two modems randomly as I experience a slow connection or randomly lose my connection on my VOIP phone device.
i followed the "Road Runner Guide" entirely to allow my wrt54gl v1.1 to have dual wan but wireless computer don't have access to the internet. Only the local network is availlable.
I had the same issue with it Corrote only mine did work with accessing the two WAN connections. The problem I had was that one WAN connection would eventually cut the second WAN connection off of the network so I would experience a brief lack of internet period in between.
I think what I have going now is better than a dual wan solution although I have been giving it a second thought but I think I may try it with OpenWRT or X-WRT instead.

Where does the route.firewall file get used?
It gets used at the end of the startup scripts. This script is absolutely necessary.

Why do i need to specify vlan3 when calling udhcpc-wan2.script when other setups seem to use vlan2?
Lots of routers use vlan0 for lan and vlan1 for wan, then vlan2 for the second wan; however, the 350n uses vlan1 for lan, vlan2 for wan, and VLAN3 for wan2.

I have no experience with RC3. I have had success with the others\eko\tng builds or whatever (the preSP2 ones). For example svn11779 is very recent and seems stable to me, works with dual (or trip/quad wan).

This isn't necessary. In fact, I have come across trouble when setting vlans in the web gui. You can ignore this step.

This is correct. It will make port 4 into your wan2.

Yup.

I am having the same issue. I followed the guide using Firmware: 'DD-WRT v24 (05/24/0 std'
My connections do not seems to be switching between the modems often, and every 10 minutes or so my connection is dropped..
after some research, i can confirm that issue. WLAN and LAN are having intermittent connexion on DUALWAN setting using "dd-wrt.v24_vpn_generic" on a wrt54gl v1.1 . Maybe that's because i'm using two cable modem from the same ISP (and then, the same network, gateway, DNS)? Or is there a bug in the script ? I really don't know.

Is there a way to resolve this problem without having to try another firmware ?

Can anyone confirm if this method will work for the WRT310N? the lan and port configuration is the same as the WRT350N.
Less memory means I use standard nokaid to get enough space for jffs but I think that GUI port problem is what stumped me.
Anyone Anyone worked it through with a 310N?
Jbarbieri AIM me been trying to find you for months!

I can't vouch for the 310N, but if you're having problems with the vlan ports in the GUI, I'd recommend completely leaving them alone. ie, ONLY do the nvram commands for setting up the vlans, not checking/unchecking boxes in the GUI
It'd be worth a try, anyway _________________ WRT350N 11793 NEWD mega Eko -- Quad WAN

Finally, i got an answer.
I did'nt read correctly the guide so i found that if my 2 WAN connectioncome from the same ISP (so come from the same gateway) it will not work.
a basic solution may be to use another router (name R2) on the second WAN, set a static IP for the main router with DMZ pointed on it.
I suppose it will create 2 different gateway and, in theory, it should work.
Is there a chance to work ?
I'll try it at home just to be sure.
Confirmed, IT WORK !
But i have to forward some port to a specific WAN.
