5. If the router is configured in multi-WAN mode, click on System and click on WAN

Traffic Setup to configure the load balance settings.

Note: For WAN failover, the router will use the primary WAN port configured under

System > WAN setup as the primary WAN port for Internet connectivity and failover to

the next available active WAN link if the primary WAN link fails.

• Mode – Select the load balance mode for the multiple WAN interfaces to operate.

o Assign Weight – This mode will allow you to configure a percentage

assignment for each WAN interface.

o Connection Mode – Select the mode for the router to determine how

to send sessions out multiple WAN interfaces.

▪ Source IP based – In this mode, if a device sends traffic

through the router and forwarded to a specific WAN

interface, the router will attempt to keep all future sessions

originating from that device (source IP) on the same WAN

interface.

▪ Source-Destination IP based - In this mode, if a device sends

traffic through the router to a specific destination IP address

and forwarded to a specific WAN interface, the router will

attempt to keep all future sessions originating from that

device (source IP) along with same destination IP address on

the same WAN interface.

▪ Per session – In this mode, the router will randomly choose

which WAN interface to forward the traffic based on each

session. This may cause connectivity/stability issues with

some applications or devices.

o WAN Weight – The weight is distributed as percentage across all WAN

interfaces. Enter a number 1-10 to assign the WAN weight. The higher

the number/percentage, the more the router will utilize the WAN for

more traffic and sessions.

• Line Speed Weight – The mode allows you to specify the max. bandwidth allocated

for each WAN interface.

o Line Speed Weight – Enter the upload and download bandwidth for

each WAN interface in Kbps.
