MultiWAN tier setup (different speeds)
-
Run a tcpdump and check if all the wans are actually used.
-
Thank you,
No need, they are used, I can see it in the Dashboard. Also, the change is visible when you put the 3rd WAN along with the others.

With different WAN speeds you use "Weight" to "distribute" the traffic according to each WAN speed, not "Tier" ;)

Correct, thank you very much!
Based on the document and other search, I see examples only for 2 uneven WANs.
In my case, since the lowest WAN is almost 1/3 of the 2 faster WANs, how is propose to set them?Best regards

You have 118 Mbps total. The 18M circuit is 15.2% of that. I would try a weight of 3 on each of the 50M circuits and a weight of 1 on the 18M circuit. That should put 1 state out of every 7 (14.2%) on the 18M circuit.
It is going to be pretty rare to get a speed test site to show you an aggregate of all the circuits on a load-balanced group. It just doesn't work that way. iperf3 with something like -P14 might get you closer.
Load Balancing works really well with lots of users and lots of states coupled with realistic expectations.

Thank you,
I will try the suggestions.

Out of curiosity, for all I know the APU has three interfaces. Does that mean your LAN connection is wireless?
-
Please read the topic ;), I am using one interface with VLANs in order to have 2 WANs from one physical.
