      When I only have one WAN activated, it works without any problems. But as soon as I activate WAN2, I'm getting DNS resolving-errors and the internet connection becomes very unstable. It is very likely that I have configured something wrong though, I just don't know where to start looking.

        Hi Stefan,

        I have similar experience.. using the LoadBalancer with only 1 WAN connection temporarily now…
        Dunno what's the problem either.. the strange thing is it works for a while but suddenly many lan clients get problems (not all). When I then remove the 2nd WAN connection from the balancer it works again immediately.
        RRD graphs don't show any packet loss on either wan connection..

              When you configure DNS, make sure you picked WAN2 for at least one of them otherwise you will get DNS errors.

              Go back under System > General and check there.
