From
WAN Management
, select the
Load Balance Algorithm
from the following dropdown options:
•
Round-Robin
: Evenly distribute each session to the available
WAN connections.
•
Rate
: Distribute load based on the current upload and
download rates. A WAN device’s upload and download
bandwidth values can be set in
Internet > Connection
Manager
.
•
Spillover
: This was the default algorithm in older (version
3) firmware. Load is always given to devices with the most
available bandwidth. The estimated bandwidth rate is based
on a combination of the upload and download configuration
values and the observed capabilities of the device.
•
Data Usage
: This mode works in concert with the Data Usage feature (
Internet > Data Usage
).
The router will make a best effort to keep data usage between interfaces at a similar percentage of the assigned data
cap in the data usage rule for each interface, rather than distributing sessions based solely on bandwidth. For proper
functioning you need to create data usage rules for each WAN device you will be load balancing. Make certain to select
the “Use with Load Balancing” checkbox in the data usage rule editor.
ON DEMAND
Typically, modem connections are not always on.
When the On Demand mode is selected a connection
to the Internet is made as needed. When On
Demand is not selected a connection to the Internet
is always maintained.
WAN VERIFY
If this is enabled, the router will check that the
highest priority active WAN interface can get to the
Internet even if the WAN connection is not actively
being used. If the interface goes down, the router
will switch to the next highest priority interface
available. If this is not selected, the router will still
failover to the next highest priority interface but
only after the user has attempted to get out to the
Internet and failed.
