WAN Mode
Single WAN Port
Path: Network > Internet > WAN Mode
This router supports multiple WAN links. This allows you to take advantage of failover and load balancing
features to ensure certain internet dependent services are prioritized in the event of unstable WAN connectivity
on one of the ports.
To use Auto Failover or Load Balancing, WAN link failure detection must be configured. This involves accessing
DNS servers on the internet or ping to an internet address (user defined). If required, you can configure the
number of retry attempts when the link seems to be disconnected or the threshold of failures that determines
if a WAN port is down.
If you do not want to use Auto Failover or Load Balancing, select
Single WAN Port
from the
WAN Mode
drop-down
menu and select the WAN port you want to set. Click
