2.2.7 WAN Policy
The WAN policy for multi-homing can be setup here. You can set up policy for each WAN separately. The router will balance the load between all active WAN ports according to the Send/Receive rate of the WAN ports. You can setup an IP address for the router to detect if the WAN line is connected. If the router fails to ping the IP, it would recognize the WAN line as not connected, and will stop directing the Internet traffic to this WAN port. The traffic will be redirected to the other active WAN port. The Intranet users will not become aware of this change and keep surfing the Internet smoothly. You also can setup a WAN port as a backup WAN port. A backup WAN port would not be activated when the router starts up. When the other active WAN port fails to connect to the Internet, the backup WAN port will be activated and take over all the traffic.
