I'm assuming that these are really not an OPNSense questions. Have you looked into T Mobile internet for either yourself or parents.  This would definitely separate the activity.  Short of that, buy a better router and put the ATT equipment in bridge mode to allow your router to control the network. One of the primary reasons I installed software like OPNSense was the ability to create separate networks (subnets). I started with Untangle.

Since this is temporary, my first option would be T Mobile.  Good luck.

I followed this and mine works perfectly.

Did you set it up to use remotely?  I started another thread about Tailscale as I'm told this is the way to get it to work remotely.

Is there an updated "How To" for setting this up?  The searches I come up with are prior to it being a plugin that can be installed from the GUI.

Anyone using this?

I think I corrected this by switching the Outgoing mail to GMail and set up an "ApP Password" in Google.


I'm also getting this

SMTP: Mailserver response error -- 550-Sender address is not allowed.

and

Mail: Mailserver response error -- 550-Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable

I've set up Monit and am configuring an email alert. What I want is an email when WAN 2 kicks in on Failover. Is there a way to set the alert to trigger when there is activity on WAN 2?

I just did the upgrade and updates using the web GUI.  It seemed to go without a hitch.  I'm only about 25 minutes in to the new version but just having it complete and have the system come up is great.  I did a configuration backup just prior to doing the update.  Should I do another one now or will they be the same?  Any advice on things I should check/test?  Thanks

Initially, I did a search and did find hits on OPNSense affecting this.  Simple first question, if I can cast with a PC but not a tablet/phone, would that mean that the problem is not OPNSense related? Thanks

I'm far from an expert here but why aren't you using multi-wan and failover as designed by OPNSense using 2 interfaces?

For anyone playing with this, make sure you uncheck Sticky Connections in Firewall -> Advanced if your backup WAN is metered.

I posted this question on another board and was told not to use a group so I'm giving it a try.

Greeting again.  I'm trying to get this to work. I followed the instructions here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html

I have 2 WANs: Mediacom and TMobile.  I want Mediacom to be the default.

Everything seemed to go smoothly until I set the Gateway in LAN1 to WANGROUP (the name of my Gateway Group) in the Pass All firewall rule.  When I apply changes, I lose internet.  If I change it back to "default", internet is restored.  Right now, I'm only working on LAN1 (192.168.2.1/24).

I can post screenshots for anything that you think may help.  Thanks

Thanks. Given that I'm currently using TP Link, I don't really require anything special.  I would need 2 that can take heat.  One is in my attic and one is in my detached garage.  I'm using TP-Link EAP225 Omada AC1350 for those and the TP-Link AX1800 WiFi 6 Router V4 (Archer AX21) for the indoor ones.

I have 1 AP on LAN1, 3 on LAN2, and 1 on LAN3.  All have unique SSIDs.

I'm wondering if I can get away with the Unifi U6-Pro or the U6+.  They say they are good to 140 deg F. I really don't want to employ a controller.

Thanks again.

I'm looking to move away from TP Link. I have 5 plus a repeater now, 2 are outdoor. I did a quick search for US Government approved access points and HPE Aruba and Ubiquity, among others (more enterprise suitable), came up. I wasn't really looking to spend $1k on new access points. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks
