LOAD BALANCE
To enable Load Balancing, select the check box for each desired device. If this is enabled, the router will use
multiple WAN interfaces to increase the data transfer throughput by using any connected WAN interface
consecutively. Selecting Load Balance will automatically start the WAN interface and add it to the pool of WAN
restart any current browsing session.
From WAN Management, select the Load Balance Algorithm
from the following dropdown options:
• Round-Robin: Evenly distribute each session to the
available WAN connections.
• Rate: Distribute load based on the current upload and
download rates. A WAN device’s upload and download
bandwidth values can be set in CONNECTION MANAGER.
• Spillover: This was the default algorithm in older (version
available bandwidth. The estimated bandwidth rate is
the device.
• Data Usage: This mode works in concert with the Client Data Usage feature.
data cap in the data usage rule for each interface, rather than distributing sessions based solely on bandwidth.
For proper functioning you need to create data usage rules for each WAN device you will be load balancing. Make
certain to select the “Use with Load Balancing” checkbox in the data usage rule editor.
ON DEMAND
Typically, modem connections are not always on.
When the On Demand mode is selected a connection
to the Internet is made as needed. When On Demand
is not selected a connection to the Internet is
always maintained.
WAN VERIFY
If this is enabled, the router will check that the highest priority active WAN interface can get to the Internet
even if the WAN connection is not actively being used. If the interface goes down, the router will switch to the
next highest priority interface available. If this is not selected, the router will still failover to the next highest
priority interface but only after the user has attempted to get out to the Internet and failed.
Idle Check Interval: The amount of time between
each check. (Default: 30 seconds. Range: 10-3600
seconds.)
Monitor while connected
the following dropdown options:
• Passive DNS (modem only): The router will take
no action until data is detected that is destined
for the WAN. When this data is detected, the
data will be sent and the router will check for
received data for two seconds. If no data is
received the router behaves as described below
under Active DNS.
