We've just been switched from ISDN to SIP.
Since the guy who installed and configured the phone system does not have a lot of experience in setting up LAN networks, we need to do it ourselves.
My knowledge of setting up LAN networks is also quite basic.
Our current setup is the following:
Some of our configurations on our TP-Link router are the following:
WAN1
Connection Type: Static IP
IP: 5.10..
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 5.10.. (IP of the ISP 1 modem)
WAN2
Connection Type: Dynamic IP
IP: 192.168.178.21
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.178.1
System Mode: NAT
LAN IP: 192.168.111.1
DHCP: enabled
Bandwidth Control: disabled
Line Backup: no rules active
Rounting: Except for a few port forwardings nothing is configured
Router auto generated "Route Table":
Destination Gateway Flags Logical Interface Physical Interface Metric
------------------ --------------- ------- ------------------ ------------------- ------
0.0.0.0/0 192.168.178.1 GS eth2 WAN2 0
0.0.0.0/0 5.10.*.129 GS eth1 WAN1 0
5.10.*.0/24 N/A C eth1 WAN1 0
192.168.111.0/24 N/A C eth0 LAN 0
192.168.178.0/24 N/A C eth2 WAN2 0
Some of our configurations on our FRITZ!Box router are the following:
WAN: Auto setup through ISP
IP: 192.168.178.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP: enabled
Routes & Port forwardings: none
What we want to achieve
The FRITZ!Box needs to be able to send and receive to/from the 192.168.111.* network, since on the clients there is a software installed to make and receive calls.
The clients should only be able to connect to the internet via ISP 1 only and therefore whit the IP 5.10...
What we noticed
The problem now is, that the TP-Link router uses the IP of ISP 2 most off the time. Since no load balancing or fallback is configured it should only use WAN1.
What also does not make any sense to me is, that although it seems that we access the internet via ISP 2 we do have the speed of ISP 1.
How can we achieve our goal?
If you need any further information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Remove the first default route on the router:
0.0.0.0/0 192.168.178.1 GS eth2 WAN2 0
Add a default route on the FritzBox, with next hop of 192.168.178.21
