CONNECTION MANAGER

The router can establish an uplink via Ethernet, WiFi as WAN, or 3G/4G modems (removable or external USB). 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 establish a link concurrently.
WAN INTERFACE PROFILES & PRIORITY
This is a list of the available interfaces used to access the Internet. You can enable, stop, or start devices from this
section. Drag the priority icon ( ) up or down to 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, an LTE-only modem is set as secondary, while
an MC400LPE-VZ modem is attached for failover and is "connected." A WiFi-as-WAN interface is also attached and
"Available."

Load Balance
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 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.
