Hey.

So I have two starlink maritime connected to one firewalla gold.
Is there a way to have these two ISP's be two completely seperate networks? No load-balancing, no  failovers.

I want the crew on the ship to have their own WAN, and the bridge to have their own WAN.

Without having to resort to VLANS, is my only option to get another Firewalla or router?

  You can use Routes to specify traffic you want to go over either WAN. E.g. send streaming traffic over WAN 2, everything else over WAN 1.

  Routes can be either static (always use that interface) or Preferred which will go over the other interface if the WAN is down.

  Routes can be applied to any device, Group/User, Network, or All Devices.

  Thank you for your response.
  Would this be a correct way of setting up the route?

  It is important that Crew LAN 2 (A physical LAN port  going only to the crew switch) only use bandwith from the Starlink Crew ISP 2 (Their own starlink).

  If you want tosend LAN 2 over ISP 2, you got it.

  Thank you so much.

  That was much easier than I originally feared.

  (I had been reading up on VLANS and that was off-putting).

  So my current setup has Load-Balancing active between the two WAN's/ISP's. I cant disable this for some reason. I can only choose between the two options, load balancing and failover.

  Will the routing overrule the load-balancing?

  HI BT, 

  That's correct. There are only two options:

  1. Fail-over
  2. Load-balancing. this can be from 10-90% for each WAN. 

  The rule mentioned previously will override, As mentioned

  Routes can be either static (always use that interface) or Preferred which will go over the other interface if the WAN is down.
