      Have you entered your download speed instead of the 100Mbit in the quote?

        I did.  But with you having multi-wan, you'd have to combine the downlink speeds, and as far as I understand, that would do nothing to prioritize one link as it got utilized (ie 1 low priority download taking up all of the 4 mb link and a 2nd high priority session on that same link wouldn't take priority because it would appear you still have 2 mb of bandwidth left).

          So how to set-up the shaper it does not exceed the down-rate on each wan interface?

            There are different ways.
            One i limiters to enforce on each wan the limits provided by your ISP and shaper to prioritize the upload.

            You can create a set of queues on LAN as:

            • main link 100mbit
              –WAN1 x mbits/s
              ----1stprio queue
              ----2ndprio queue
              --WAN2 y mbit/s
              ----1stprio queue
              ----2ndprio queue

            and on each link categorize the traffic.

                ----1stprio queue
                ----2ndprio queue

              Do you mean this on limiter or in shaper?

              I can't create the sub-queues on LAN with specified mbit/s :-/

                Shaper and depending on your need change the shaper type to something else than PRIQ to enter bandwidth.

                  OK, I have tried, I am not able to configure it.

                  I will give $20 for anyone who write a walkthrou how to configure the shaper to do download shaping on a one-LAN, two-WAN setup.
