WAN Affinity / Load Balancing
WiFi as WAN
Connection Manager
The router can establish an uplink via Ethernet, WiFi as WAN, or 3G/4G modems (integrated or external USB). If the primary WAN connection fails, the router will automatically
attempt to bring up a new link on another device: this feature is called
failover
. If Load Balance is enabled, multiple WAN devices may establish a link concurrently.
WAN Interfaces
This is a list of the available interfaces used to access the Internet. You can enable, stop, or start devices from this section. By using the priority arrows (the arrows in the
boxes to the left – these show if you have more than one available interface), you can set the interface the router uses by default and the order that it allows failover.
In the example shown, Ethernet is set as the primary Internet source, while a 4G LTE modem is attached for failover. The Ethernet is “Connected” while the LTE modem is
“Available” for failover. A WiFi-as-WAN interface is also attached and “Available”.
Load Balance
: If this is enabled, the router will use multiple WAN interfaces to increase the data transfer throughput by using any connected WAN interface
consecutively. Selecting Load Balance will automatically start the WAN interface and add it to the pool of WAN interfaces to use for data transfer. Turning off Load
Balance for an active WAN interface may require the user to restart any current browsing session.
Enabled
: Selected by default. Deselect to disable an interface.
Click on the small box at the top of the list to select/deselect all devices for either
Load Balance
or
Enabled
.
Click on a device in the list to reveal additional information about that device.
Selecting a device reveals the following information:
State
(Connected, Available, etc.)
Port
