Two or more ISP lines are connected to the WAN line, and they need to be configured in a Partial Load Balancing way.
 

Prerequisites

  2. Firmware Version: 1.7.0 to 2.5.3.
  3. A PC/laptop connected to the Router wirelessly or through an Ethernet cable.
 

Configuration

  1. Open a web browser. Log into the Web UI of the Router (default IP address 192.168.1.1, username: admin, password: admin). Please refer to the Figure 1-1.
