5.7Enabling Parallel Broadband (Only available in Gateway mode)
The access point is equipped with the exclusive Parallel Broadband technology, which translates into scalable Internet bandwidth as well as Load Balancing and
Since there is no restriction to the type of broadband Internet account that the access point can connect to, your network may run with one of the access points on Cable Internet, while the rest connect to ADSL.
The diagram below illustrates an application of Parallel Broadband in a network with 3 of the access points, X, Y and Z.
5.7.1Load balancing
Building your network around multiple access points arranged in cascade and running under Parallel Broadband, creates an aggregate bandwidth and enables you to balance the Internet traffic generated by your private network over multiple broadband connections. For instance, Z might share its load with X and Y so that each of the access points serves approximately the same number of users.
