Did you use the LuCI interface, i.e. installing the package luci-app-multiwan? Configuring through the LuCI interface is more user friendly and easier for most users. Even though I prefer editing the /etc/config/multiwan file with vi editor through SSH with PuTTY.
Mind to elaborate more of your setup?
Do note that for load-balancing, each interface must be on a different gateway or Multi-WAN will fail.

Setup load-balacing in openwrt is not easy for Dual wan. Thus, Im going get a Dual wan router instead. Anyway, do a sharing if you get know how  //

I think mikrotik easier to setup. Openwrt also can but a bit harder.
