RUTX50 - failover Starlink/Mobile stopped working after FW update

Hi

I have a RUTX50 with the following config:

  • Starlink as primary connection
  • Mobile as secondary connection
  • Site-to-Site WireGuard VPN to my home
  • WAN Failover
  • The Starlink connection is currently without an active subscription (I only use it when travelling) so the WAN interface in use is mobile.

I’ve upgraded to RUTX_R_00.07.15.2 and since then failover stopped working, meaning clients will not navigate internet anymore however VPN traffic (both ways) still works!

This is the way it’s configured:

Please note that even if I leave the mobile connection alone in the failover config - it doesn’t work either!

I tried reverting FW to n-1 without any luck - it won’t work anymore…

I had the same trouble. Go back to 14.3 until they have fixed it.

thanks!!

seems like I cannot remotely…

15.x had some updates on multiwan:

  • Multi WAN: updated configuration interface
  • Multi WAN: added manual member configuration
  • Multi WAN: added expanded Multi WAN interface statuses

How could it be that 2 following updates were released and this is not even documented in the changelog :-/

jus to confirm I solved this by reverting to 7.14.3 and manually reconfigure everything including DHCP static leases!!!

I also have this problem, but with an RUTX11 with failover configured across mobile and multiwan interfaces and a wireguard VPN connection to my home. Failover is working, and the wireguard connection is established, but traffic isn’t being routed over wireguard as it should be. This worked fine before updating to RUTX_R_00.07.15.2.

I’d rather avoid having to downgrade and reconfigure everything manually if possible…

Hello @DrRob,

Could you please share a screenshot of the WireGuard peer configuration window from the WebUI?
Kindly make sure to blur or hide any sensitive information before sending it.

Thank you.

Best regards,


By the way, I tried removing the Multi AP settings and re-adding the main client settings individually (so in Network > Wireless > SSIDs I now have one Mode: Client instead of one Mode: Multi AP with several clients configured within it), but that made no difference.

One oddity, which might be a clue, is that under Network > Failover > Multiwan, in the Interface tab, if I edit Name:wwan (the name I gave the Network for the wireless client), in the top section it says:

“wan2” Interface group configuration

rather than

“wwan” Interface group configuration.

I’ve no idea where “wan2” has come from.

Thanks,
Rob.

Hello,

I have forwarded this issue to our RnD department. Once I receive any feedback from them, I will let you know.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,

I’m currently on vacation and have not much time to diagnose - also I cannot now revert firmware and reconfigure as I need the service while travelling abroad.

@Marija can you please update this thread once RnD have further diagnosed the bug? thanks

Hello @stepir75,

I will post an update here as soon as I receive any feedback regarding this issue from our RnD team.

Best regards,

Hi is this issue being solved?

It’s resolved for me by a test firmware that tech support sent me, although at first it did not work because I’d changed something while attempting to work around the problem, but tech support diagnosed what I’d done and helped me to resolve that. Now the failover is working again for me (wifi client is now chosen as the preferred WAN when available, and otherwise it fails over to mobile data, and also I don’t need to add manual routes for the Wireguard VPN to work).

Hello @stepir75,

The official fix for this issue is planned for the 7.19 firmware release.

We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Best regards,
