Hey there! I'm working on configuring my EdgeRouter X to manage the network like this: two WANs are connected—one 25 Mbps DHCP and another 1.5 Mbps PPPoE. We need to ensure devices get the slower connection except for a few promoted ones that should have both links with load balancing. The 25 Mbps only allows 1.5 Mbps upload, while the 1.5 Mbps has 0.5 Mbps upload, so we're aiming for better overall bandwidth usage. We also want automatic failovers if one connection drops.

Right now my settings look like this: firewall rules, load balancing groups, and interface configurations. I'm trying to set up the balance so that devices outside the promoted group only use the PPPoE link, but everything else falls back to the PPPOE interface. When I remove a device from the GOD_TIER list, it should stop using the main group and only rely on PPPoE. However, I'm seeing issues where removing an interface from the group locks everything to just PPPoE.

Any tips or adjustments you could suggest would be super helpful! Thanks!
