Can't route traffic through my three router?

Sandwich247 — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 08:50:26 GMT

I have a new Three router set up and all raring to go as my backup! Finally!

I connected everything up, that's all good

I connected my laptop to it through ethernet, got all the settings I want set, I can access the internet just fine, perfect!

Now I attempt to connect my DrayTek router to it through the secondary WAB port, I enabled WAN 2 in the internet access setting, I set the connection to always on, specified an IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, DNS server, all that good stuff - all looks good!

I go into the Diagnostics are for my DrayTek router, do a ping to 1.1.1.1 through the WAN 2 connection, I get 5 replies back, peachy!

I connect everything up to the DrayTek router, I test out the internet with WAN 1 connected and everything works, I disconnect WAN 1 so traffic is forced to go through WAN2, on the status page everything looks fine and...

No internet, no pings from my computer, no pings from any other device connected to the DrayTek router, but the DrayTek router can ping any live IP I give it no problem

What's going on here, have I missed something in my configuration of the Three router?

The current system that I'm working from is Virgin Router + Three router for internet

DrayTek router for failover (also will be doing L2TP to an external server so failover doesn't change my IP address)

My router and my brother's router for our own devices

What am I doing wrong here?
