. How do you arrange a dual router setup? Which model would be best?The issue begins when both systems rely on the same cloud server provider. Having two distinct IP addresses can cause complications. By applying rules, you can manage this situation. You can refer to ATP here: https://www.zyxel.com/de/de/products_ser....shtml?t=c
They produce dual WAN routers and discuss load balancing. It’s unclear how to route specific traffic to an ISP—this should be addressed by someone with more expertise. I think VLANs might play a role here. From what I understand, you’ll likely need more sophisticated networking equipment than typical consumer gear.

Enterprise has moved past BGP. With load balancing you can implement static PBR (Policy-based Routing) or stateful approaches that balance flows, which a load balancer does. A typical load balancer often introduces many unpredictable issues. In my previous role, the switches were in multi-tenant buildings. From a switch perspective, they were straightforward and dependable at the L2 level.
