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 //

already, the problem is how to config.

and also



now sharing all my video and music file from this using minidlna

any recommendation on dual wan router that can support adsl and 3g modem connection via usb?

Nope, I only can recommend for DUAL wan router only. NO support USB..

i see

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

finally finish setting up my load balancer. but have to ditch openwrt multiwan through and replace it with cheap hardware load balancer.



my streamyx speed (upload and download)



my setting on hardware load balancer ( this load balancer can support up to 4 wan connection )



my speedtest after finish configuring both line and load balancer ( i can get almost triple my steamyx speed lol )



my test download speed.

very big improvement for me through. can get almost 20Mbps

what model and price for cheap hardware load balancer.?

its tp-link TL-R470T+

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

i buy it for only RM299

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

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

TP link apparently sell their product but their technical support really sucksss to max.

yeah, that the main problem with tp link.

Where in Sabah did you buy it at RM299?

Ur 2nd link is?

Is that "load balancer thingy" like that Connectify software?

Interesting.

syahpian How do you connect your Maxis connection to this router? I assume you are using a USB modem.

I have two E398 which are USB modems. Assuming if I want to do a load balancer with these two connections, how can I proceed? I have 2xLTE connection which each connection has a speed of around 35Mbps, I want it to be faster.

Lastly, does this record as a single IP address or two IP addresses when you surf net? If I'm not mistaken Connectify Dispatch Pro will show two IP addresses which I will face issue when I download from my premium downloader. It may detect me of having two connections downloading simultaneously.

Thank you and my apologies in advance if my questions are very stupid.

for my setup, i use this



TL-MR3040 V2

you can also use other 3g/4g router for your setup. just i like this because it so compact easy to move where-ever you like, as you know, all mobile broadband are depends 100% on feng shui

for ip, usually it only show 1 ip, but its depend on your setup of course.

better you try to read that product user guide to really understand how this product work

Watch this video for those interested on this load balancer thingy.You can combine or divide it into 2 connections(or some sort)

that is the same video that i watch before i buy my load balancer

Thanks for the links.

I actually tried watching the YouTube before posting here but it kept auto stopped at 4minutes+.

I gave up to replay. Will watch again.

Bumping up this thread
To sifus here who has setup load balancing
How exactly is the configuration?
If I have 2 modems, do both of them have to be in bridge or pppoe mode when connected to wan port for the load balancing router?
