Dear Community,

I have purchased a TP-Link router ER605 v2.0 for my company. I have 2 Internet connections, WAN 1= 500Mbps and WAN 2=100Mbps. Now I want to combine both together using Load Balancing feature. Now how to set up Load Balancing Weight Ratio which combines 600Mbps? Thanks.

TECHNICALLY... you wont "combine" the 2 WAN ports... thats called "Bonding" and MOST routers do not that.  MOST that do are highly expensive.  Peplink does a hybrid bonding.  

 

This will just route traffic out both WAN ports. randomly.  

 

With this... you will want to enter 1:1 and enable Application Routing.  Pretty much sticky connection.  

 

That should  do it.

It would be best to set a 5 to 1 ratio for your 2 connections to prevent saturating the 100mbps connection while there is available bandwidth on the 500mbps (i.e. 5 for the 500mbps connection, 1 for the 100mbps connection)

 

Then make sure under primary WAN you select both WAN and WAN/LAN1 as your primary WANs. As it is currently set up in your screenshot it will route all traffic through your WAN connection and only fallback to WAN/LAN1 if WAN goes offline. If you have a third back-up you can put that as the back-up WAN, but otherwise leave that empty as it will automatically route all traffic through the remaining WAN if one of your 2 connections go down.
