Did you use the LuCI interface, i.e. installing the package luci-app-multiwan? Configuring through the LuCI interface is more user friendly and easier for most users. Even though I prefer editing the /etc/config/multiwan file with vi editor through SSH with PuTTY.

Mind to elaborate more of your setup?

Do note that for load-balancing, each interface must be on a different gateway or Multi-WAN will fail.

Setup load-balacing in openwrt is not easy for Dual wan. Thus, Im going get a Dual wan router instead. Anyway, do a sharing if you get know how biggrin.gif//

I think mikrotik easier to setup. Openwrt also can but a bit harder.

its tp-link TL-R470T+

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details...del=TL-R470T%2B

i buy it for only RM299 smile.gif

maybe its more cheaper in lowyat plaza. this is price in sabah through laugh.gif laugh.gif

the reason is why i say this is cheapest because all load balancer that i survey are all in rm 500++ in price range, only this one with price tag below rm 300 thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
