Configure the proper settings for Cable line and DSL line connection in those pages
according to the information offered by ISP.
After the configuration, Vigor router will use ARP to check the liveness of WAN1/WAN2 Gateway.
If there is no response for a period of time, the router will drop the connection of line and then
automatically dial the DSL connection for WAN2. After WAN2 is connected, all the traffic will be
guided and switched to WAN2. Though WAN1 is down, Vigor router would always send ARP to
check the liveness of the gateway. When it receives the ARP response sent from the Gateway and
reestablished the connection, Vigor router will use WAN1 again and disconnect WAN2.
Load Balance Function
With multiple WAN connections, you will get the effective combined Dual-WAN speeds for all
your LAN users. Both WAN1 and WAN2 are UP. The traffic will be routed according to the
Load-Balance mechanism.
Assuming you have you 2 links, one is Cable connection (WAN1) and the other is ADSL2+
connection (WAN2).
Refer to the steps below to setup your Vigor router.
