You're a saviour man! :-) No, really - with your video I've got everything running as expected in less than 10 minutes! After spending a few hours trying to follow even the "official" documentation and forums, and… One big THANK YOU

[jeytis]

Good. However I would have liked to see a deeper explanation about what scope and target scope are really about, and how they work. Thanks

[eugenevdm]

This is an incredibly slick technical / marketing video. Well done.

Excellent, I had tried watching other videos and this one works. Greetings from Chiapas, Mexico. Thank you.

[BobolaOladele]

Thanks for the video, please share link to the video of how to set up notification

Great video! Might be worthwhile to mention that DHCP clients needs to have their default routes with different priority too, by default they have same so I was puzzled that internet didn't work even though switch definitely happened in the route table

i really appriciate it . thanks.

[markklein]

[pdawg]

Thank you for providing this valuable resource!

[csabahanga]

Thanks very much! Great Tutorial...do you plan a video about failover notification e.g. to Discord?

[elkinorozco]

Thanks for creating this video! i will test it on my Router.

Thank you very much very well explained and easy to understand, in the second route it would be redundant to do it recursively since it would not return to the first one if it is down, now it would make sense to do it in the second interface if there is a third route.

Mr Tim you are excllent, just simplifying everything, great work Go on !!

[stevebot]

You can also do failover with route mapping.

[agusttt]

epic tier level explanation. thank you very much for this

[safa]

is it possible to add domain name based routing rules? e.g. some destinations use one wan while others use the other?

[shokowillard]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial Tim. I believe Scoop must have a really awesome network setup, please may you show us your work network setup. The failover is really good, but how would you set up for situations when the main link is up but latencies are high, or the connection is intermittent?

[EverythingAndMadness]

Great content my man 🎉 love the tutorial.

[Imponentemusic]

What Mikrokit device can I buy to do this procedure?

[talharafique]

when we can expect the video about setting notifications for failover and also making Logs in the system. ? highly appreciate it if you could provide this.
