I'm trying to run two ISP through two separate routers, via one server. One router is connected to server and our workgroup, under own subnet and ip family. The other is connected to server only to handle external communicaton and services (FTP/WEB-SHOP etc) via Internet and Server.

Is it possible to get this to work?
If what would be the soloution?

you can do this but what's the point?

The easiest way both from a management and troubleshooting stand point is to get a dual WAN router. With some models you can specify static routes meaning that the route for FTP/HTTP is to use one WAN link and all other traffic use the other.

another option with a dual WAN router is you can aggregate both internet connections for load balancing.

but 2 connections with 2 routers just doubles the effort on problem solving should problems arise and they do.

But even so, I have a set up here and I would like to get it to work. Running smooth on one connection. Other connection is in according to the router running as well, but I have problems to access the FTP and Remote Desktop connection. The ports are open. The problem connection does not have a default gateway, since I heard two default gateways is asking for trouble. Could this be the problem?

I would very much appreciate some help.

Sincerly,

Yes it can. buying dual wan router is quite expensive than buying 2 separate routers. just assign internal static ip address on each pc client and change your getway and dns server. you can call me 09202444743
