Setting Up Dual WAN and Multi-WAN Connections

Mode - Cisco RV042, RV042G, and RV082

You can configure up to two Internet connections by using the Internet port and the DMZ/Internet port. You can choose one of the following modes to manage your WAN connections:

•Smart Link Backup: Choose this mode to ensure continuous connectivity. If the primary WAN connection is unavailable, the backup WAN connection is used.

•Load Balance: Choose this mode to use both Internet connections simultaneously to increase the available bandwidth. The router balances the traffic between the two interfaces in a weighted round robin fashion.

NOTE: DNS queries are not subject to load balancing.
