By default, all the active WAN interfaces will join the load balance pool when they are
connected, and the outgoing traffic will take either of the active WAN as their path,
therefore the traffic load is shared across the WAN interfaces. For newer models which
support "Session-based" Load Balance, the router can also do WAN aggregation, which means
the speed that LAN clients could experience will be the combination of all the active WAN's
bandwidth (click here to learn more).
To ensure that a WAN interface is in the load balance pool, go to WAN >> General Setup,
click on the index, set Active Mode to "Always On" and make sure Load Balance is enabled.
The default load balance weight is determined based on the peak bandwidth detected on
each WAN interface, but Network Administrator may also use "According to Line Speed Mode"
to define the maximum bandwidth which will affect the weight (click here to learn more).
