Two WAN ports - load balancing
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 11:04 am
My board has 3 ethernet ports. One is used for WAN and one for LAN and the 3rd is not used at all. It would be nice if I could use that port as another WAN "input" from different ISP. By this the router could balance network load - if my WAN1 from ISP1 becomes saturated the router will automatically switch to WAN2 from ISP2. Also if ISP1 goes offline then it will use WAN2 (ISP2) and vice-versa.
Today if my ISP1 has blackout, I have to switch the cables and use my ISP2. However if I'm not at home this is a big problem. Image the number of calls from my kids
I heared about such package, but don't know how to install/use it. It would be nice if the WEB interface could support this. Just an idea
. Any help how to get it work via cmd line could also help...
Thanks in advance, Abyss
