Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.2.6 Build 20240718 Rel.82712

I have an ER605 without a controller.  It's connected to a SkyWifi SR203 FTTC with Dynamic IP.  There's also another internet connection.  When the connection to the SR203 goes down, if you connect to it directly it goes to a splash page.  However, through the ER605, I would expect it to realize the connection is down since it can't reach Google, 8.8.8.8, etc and use the other connection.  Instead, if keeps trying to push my computer traffic through the down connection every few minutes and caches that everything isn't reachable.  How do I properly configure the ER605 to recognize when the connection is down even though it still goes to a splash page?

 

Right now I have load balancing enabled, with bandwidth based balance routing.  I've tried using both Auto and Manual Online Detection.  Either way it continues to route traffic to the SR203 even though it's down.

 

Thanks in advance.

When the connection is down, the SR203 intercepts DNS requests and returns the landling page to all requests. This means that the DNS request is seen as successful and so the ER605 beleives the connection is up. You could try changing the Online detection to manual and use ping rather than DNS. Try setting it to ping google (8.8.8.8) and set the DNS field to 0.0.0.0 https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/701/
