Load balance keeps switching IP addresses
-
Hello all, i just load balanced two connections and i got a bit of an issue…sometimes ill only get the speed of one modem even though they are both infact online and working great other times ill get the download speed of one and the upload of both.....and then the really annoying part is my external ip keeps switching back and forth....i need to have it so i just use the IP on wan 1 and not wan 2....any help would be appreciated. Thanks

loadbalancing doesn't (always) combine the speed of both connections.
it just "switches" / balances between the individual connections.the annoying part is just how it works, you can reduce this behavior by enabling 'sticky connections' in System: Advanced: Miscellaneous
