Orange Livebox 5 (France) & ER605 v1.0 router
2022-02-21 21:19:25
Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0 Build 20220114 Rel.76871

Hello,

I'm based in France. My ISP is Orange and I'm using their LIVEBOX 5 box to access fiber network.

This box connects at 2GBps (uplink) but is limited to 1 GBps per LAN port (there are 4 LAN ports).

I'd like to maximize the Internet bandwidth available on my LAN by connecting 2 WAN ports from the ER605 router to the LIVEBOX.

At present ER605's WAN port is connected to LIVEBOX (192.168.1.1/Gateway) via static IP : 192.168.1.100=WAN port + Gateway=192.168.1.1.

I tried connecting another cable to LAN/WAN1 port and configuring LAN/WAN1 with 192.168.1.200 + Gateway = 192.168.1.1

It failed and I had to physically remove the second cable and disconnect LAN/WAN1 to bring the network back to life.

 

Would you have any advice to give me ?

 

Thanks in advance for your support.

 

Best regards.
NestorB

  @NestorB 

 

Do you mean you want both WAN ports of the R605 to be connected to the same ISP device?
I'm afraid this topology won't work.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

@Virgo thanks a lot for your reply. Absolutely : my idea was to create 2 connection to the same "ISP BOX" (Orange Livebox) to work around its limitation of 1 GBps per LAN client. With that I thought I could leverage the box capability to deliver 2 GBps on the fiber side (uplink).

Please forgive my lack of network advanced knowledge.

  @NestorB This router doesn't support Link Aggregation on the WAN port. The second WAN is used to link up another modem

  @Somnus thanks for your reply.

Is there another TP-Link router which would support link aggregation on the WAN port ?

Best regards.

No I didn't find one. I only seeTplink has some routers support 2.5G WAN port.
