Multi-WAN policy 12.16

Overview
The router has 1 WAN port by default but allows a maximum of 3 WAN ports. When multiple WAN
ports are operating at the same time, an appropriate multi-WAN policy can greatly improve the
bandwidth usage of the router. The router supports the following types of multi-WAN policy:
Smart load balancing (default): If such a policy is applied, the router automatically
distributes traffic based on the bandwidth on the Bandwidth Control page through the
WAN ports to achieve load balancing.
Custom: Such a policy is configured by an administrator to distribute data of specified IP
address groups to specified WAN ports.
