      I followed all the guides on PFSense, Youtube, forums but I cannot get my second WAN to have any load.  I will list my specs below.

      WAN1- Static IP- DSL 1.5mbps
      WAN2- DHCP - Cable 3.0 mbps

      *I created a gateway Group with both WAN(s) both are Tier 1 and trigger on packet loss or high latency
      *I weighted my WAN 2 gateway to "2" because it is 2 times as fast
      *my gateway status shows both green ONLINE and the gateway group as Tier 1 online
      *I have DNS servers listed under each gateway
      *Lastly I made a firewall LAN rule with IPV4> Protocol ANY > Destination ANY> Source LAN net > Gateway is my gateway group

      Any help would be appreciated

        Typically you will not see a load unless you have gobbled up all the bandwidth on the other line OR if you're using a program that does a lot of sessions.
        ?
        Please provide what you're config is (screenshots are ideal)?

        Please provide how you are 'seeing' the load?

          Hello everyone,

          i am new on the pfSense World. I worked until now with Kerio. But for my new projects are kerio a little bit too expensive.

          So i have to know and i hope that someone have experience with them.
          Is it possible to make a Load Balancing on pfSense with 6-7 Gigabit WAN?

          regards
          Toma
