I have searched a lot on these forums and reddit for a guide on how to do this and am thinking it is not possible. My internet (Cox) has a low data cap, but has a "hotspot" feature if you buy their routers that allows you to login to the hotspot and you get slow speeds but no data cap.

 

So nic 1 (eth0) is being used by everything. I bought a second router I enabled WISP on which repeats the unlimited hotspot and I can plug a ethernet cord from this router into Nic 2 (eth1) and then have unlimited slow download.

 

The idea is eth1 I will tie to the 1 docker I have needs no data cap, and eth0 will be the gateway for everything else.

 

I found a post from ken-ji thats says Unraid cant have 2 gateways. I have found the following post and tried to follow it but I lose connection to my Unraid when I do. 

 

Is it possible on Unraid to have 2 nics enabled and the second nic handling all of a single dockers traffic?

Thank you so much in advanced, I have spent weeks trying to get around this data cap.

You don't need apply VLAN as you have two NIC, in fact, you can't use VLAN because your equipment seems doesn't VLAN capable.

Just set eth1 ( WISP ) in different subnet & gateway ( again no need VLAN ) then assign docker in this network. Client also need connect to WISP router to access corresponding docker.

I tried all these other things, and I thought I was doing what you mentioned in my head. For some reason, your post helped me figure out I was confusing my eth ports, both had the same gateway (had to change on second router) and also wasn't changing the docker settings correctly. 

Big thank you
