I have purchased a static IP from my ISP and as all of my devices are behind OPNsense firewall as in diagram below.

internet-->ISP router--(bridge)-->OPNsense router

I thought it would be good idea to connect opnsense to the ISP router as a client on DHCP on internal network as both networks (Static IP and Local broadband) are of 100mbps and could load balance them and kind off get speed of 200mbps (kind off)

Final diagram:


internet---->ISP router-----------------
                       | Local                      | Bridged
                       |                              |
                       ->Opnsense firewall<-

And also both do have different gateways.
For simplicity lets name interfaces as WAN1(Bridged) and WAN2 (Local)

So, the problem is that WAN2 only works some times so the connection drops and some computers suddenly have no internet and others have no problem.
If I enable only one WAN interface they work without a problem so there should be something else that needs to be configured and I have no idea what it is.

Also do I need to setup and firewall rules on either of WAN interfaces for the same?

Also my main goal is to install AP on 192.168.1.2 and install camera on its wifi with ip (192.168.3.x) to keep it off internet and organized. Can you guide me how can I define the route to camera?

Is your AP and Network Switch VLAN aware?

no, its not vlan aware but I can turn it on also I am trying to block everything with firewall rules as I think they are more flexible and easy to set up

Edit- VLAN are more useful in same subnet? but as I can use multiple subnets I can segregate each device type in its own subnets such as VPN clients, VMs, Home devices etc..

Outbound NAT rule and DNS for OPT1 configured? ;-)

Sorry for the late reply
I figured it out earlier and forgot about this thread. Thanks I did, setup the firewall rules properly and everything seems to work fine.
Only problem that I need a separate router for 192.168.3.0 subnet as to keep camera off network. It would be great if it would be possible on router with subnet 192.168.2.0 as I wont need to setup extra router.
I know I need to setup extra router as paths wont get defined on different subnet. Anyway thanks again!!

Hey,
I have set up OPNsense such that I have static ip wan input and other 2 interfaces are

Lan (192.168.0.1/24).
OPT1 (192.168.1.1/24). Range - 192.168.1.5-192.168.1.254


When I plug my laptop in OPT1 port it gets DHCP address but fails to get internet. I have set up firewall rules but it didn't work. Could anyone point out what am I missing?

Also my main goal is to install AP on 192.168.1.2 and install camera on its wifi with ip (192.168.3.x) to keep it off internet and organized. Can you guide me how can I define the route to camera?

One more thing, I want 192.168.1.x and 192.168.0.x to ping each other, as I have not yet properly set up OPT1, I was going to do it later but I think they won't ping each other automatically and I don't know what rules to setup for the same?
