Using a WISP and ADSL on MikroTik

[Rouxenator]

So here is the deal, buddy of mine has a WISP connection and his main router (DHCP) is a MikroTik, every thing works perfectly.

He recently got an uncapped ADSL connection with cheap ADSL router and currently has one PC connected to it.
What he would like is to configure the MikroTik router to :
1) Establish the ADSL connection
2) Pass certain clients (MACs) to the ADSL and the rest goes over the current WISP
3) When the WISP goes doen, switch to the ADSL for all.

Hoe does one go about doing this? Is there a guide or something I can use somewhere?

We'll here's my suggestion, although I have not much experience with Mikrotik, I know the software is very capable:
1) Setup a PPPOE session with the ADSL details on the Mikrotik
2 & 3) This may be a bit difficult to setup, but essentially the default route (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0) on the Mikrotik should be out towards the WISP with a backup default route via the ADSL. I'm not sure if the Mikrotik supports some sort of PBR (policy based routing) - where you can specify what IP or Layer 2 (MAC) traffic is matched and to specifically route it out the ADSL

Browse the mikrotik wiki/forums,

Have a look at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Failover_Scripting

Might need a bit of modifying...

I would recommend browsing through the variety of youtube videos and see which one covers that particular scenario.

This is very easy to achieve with Mikrotik. If your WISP is using PPPOE for auth then it is even easier.

Create 2X PPPOE connections on the tik, one for ADSL (through bridged modem) and one to WISP
Create two default gateways, one with a higher cost than the other depending on what you choose as your primary link.
Use Mangle/Mark routing to mark specific traffic and assign it to a specific gateway, either by IP address or MAC

Remember DNS, make sure you use DNS servers which are available through both connections.
