  @Clive_A Thanks for responding, it gave few clarfication . Pl rephrase my queries 

 

Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 2.1.2 Build 20240324 Rel.46738

 

Current Settings 

Enable Load Balancing - Checked 
Enable APp Opt routing - Checked 
Enable Bandwidth Based rouring - NOT CHECKED
Link Backup - Disabled 
Online detection - Online for both port (configured manually with 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4.) 

Can you please clarify below query 

With above setup , I see both WANs are being used by all clients on the network. However - we do not have control for traffic ratio says - 50:50  over both WAN. is there any way we can decide the ratio to use both WAN equally  ?

Also - Do I need to enable - LInk Backup ?  I removed the plug for one WAN and tested . All traffic was passing via another active one. without link backup configuired. 

I tried to enable Link back up and found that all traffic passes via WAN 1 (Primary) despite Load Balancing being checked. Am I missing something?

Thanks

 

 

1:1 should be the ratio you set. The context is not 100% or 100. If you have three, you should be 1:1:1.

The traffic is routed automatically based on the algorithm unless you create a PBR.

The other two questions are self-evident and explained in the KB. If you have read that, and still cannot understand it, please let me know what parts should be adjusted in the article.
