Two gateways on the same network?

Question

Computer networks

Good afternoon!
There is a Mikrotik 192.168.1.1 router on the network, it distributes the Internet and dhcp,
the second D-link router 192.168.1.2, it also distributes the Internet from the second provider
, there is no opportunity to connect the second provider to Mikrotik, a long distance
The goal, when the Internet is turned off on Mikrotik, redirect traffic on D-link and when the Internet appears on Mikrotik, return traffic back.

Answer 2

I propose to raise 2 default gateways on Mikrotik with different distances. 1 provider gateway, 2 gateway - Dlink. This will make it easier to set up.

Answer 3

Two default gateways with different metrics on clients.
PS: It would be more interesting in your case to stir up channel balancing with fault tolerance. This is a more difficult question - either to buy a piece of iron that can do this; or deal with the issue yourself.

Answer 4

Connect the miktotik and dlink to a separate VLAN (even if it is on the microtik's LAN interface) and do the balancing already on the mikrotik itself.

Answer 5

You still have two channels. One is directly connected to the Mikrotik, the second one lands on the D-link. But nothing prevents Mikrotik from having access to the second channel, only not directly, but via D-link.
