Help request: Trouble configuring ADSL failover for primary CellC 3G connection.

[alan101]

Been trying for hours. Google didn't help, nor did the manuals. Using a D-Link DWR-113 3G router for my CellC data connection. Want to use my horribly slow ADSL as failover when/if CellC fails for any reason. Seems this is rocket-science.

Settings so far:

Remote host for keep alive: www.google.co.za
Primary WAN: 3G
Secondary WAN: PPPoE

PPPoE settings:
Username: <myid>@afrihost.co.za
Password: <xxxx>
IP Address: <address of the ADSL modem>

Oh, I've tried all sort of settings. I suspect the problem is with the settings on the ADSL modem. It's also configured with the PPPoE settings. Must that rather be Bridged? Tried that anyway, no luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Alan.

Set adsl to bridged mode and dhcp off, on the failover router for adsl configure only the username and password and correct lan port of it needs a specific port. No IP as adsl is dynamic unless otherwise specified
