      Trying to get dual wan set up and working. Could someone point me to a tutorial that will help me get my 2 cable modems up and running on this PFsense box? I am under the impression that dual wan wont double my browsing speeds however if I use a DL manager or bit torrent, I can double the bandwidth? I have 2 cable modems connected to Comcast both by Dynamic Ip addy. I guess I want load balancing and failover but as far as failover goes, since it is the same isp if one modem goes offline, so will the other.

      Hopefully someone can understand what I am in need of and lend a hand.

      Thanx in advance!!!

        Found this for myself. I dont know why I couldnt find it the other day. It wasnt as if I wasnt searching. I read this and dabled a bit with it about a year ago and knew it was there but couldnt find it when I was trying.

          it's even easier than it looks. I set it up in seconds, of course, not taking into account the slow performance of the webadmin.
