Model: ER8411  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Requesting for some help with my network setup.  I have 2 identical networks in 2 buildings next to each other.  Each have their own ISP (fixed IP) and Omada setup.
Site 2 connects to site 1 over a VPN to reach the PBX and the File Server. 

I have vlans for voip, file, wifi, pc's

I have a wireless bridge (not in use) between both sites.  In the old setup, I only had one ISP and used the bridge to access the internet. 
Everything works fine, however, I would like to accomplish 2 things

 

- have the vpn running over the wireless connection because the bandwidh is much higer.  

- have a failover through the bridge in case a ISP goes offline (happens often).  If ISP 1 goes down, both sides need to access the internet through ISP 2 and vice versa.
  

I have only basic knowledge of networking and can't figure it out.  

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @Dorothee__ 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Simply add them as WAN. That'll do it. For the two P2P units, you configure them. That's it.

No extra fancy configuration is needed. They'll work as the WAN.

 

About the routing later on, you might remove the VPN as you have them configured via P2P and they'll have the routes to the other site.
