7.1 Connection Manager
The router can establish an uplink via the Ethernet WAN port, WiFi as WAN, or the internal modem. If the primary WAN
connection fails the router will automatically attempt to bring up a new link on another device. This feature is called
failover. If Load Balance is enabled, multiple WAN devices may be plugged in and each may establish a link.
7.1.1 WAN Interfaces
This is a list of the available interfaces used
to access the Internet. You can enable, stop,
or start devices from this section. By using
the priority arrows (the arrows in the boxes to
the left; these show if you have more than
one available interface), you can set the
interface the router uses by default and the
order that it allows failover.
In the example shown, Ethernet is set as the primary Internet source, while the internal modem is set for failover. The
Ethernet is "Unplugged" while the modem is "Connected."
Load Balance: 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 interfaces to use for data transfer. Turning off Load Balance for an active WAN interface may
require the user to restart any current browsing session.
Enabled: Selected by default. Deselect to disable an interface.
Click on the small box at the top of the list to select/deselect all devices for either Load Balance or Enabled.
Click on a device in the list to reveal additional information about that device and to enable configuration options.
