Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0

Info on this is all over the place online and generally unspecific.

 

Basics:
I have two connections coming from my ISP, going into this switch, which is combining that bandwidth into a single "aggregated" connection.

TP-Link will suggest you download the Omada Controller software, but it doesn't have the options necessary to aggregate the connections. So use the browser access in a moment.

 

  • Use tape to label your modems and lines.
  • Get your PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP username and password for each connection from your ISP.
  • (This next part is easiest if you only connect your ethernet cord to one device at a time):
  • Login to each modem (192.168.0.1 in your browser) and put them each into bridging mode.
  • Login to the TP-LINK ER605 switch (also 192.168.0.1 when there's no other connection).
  • Network>WAN>WAN Mode tab; Click however many incoming connections you have.
  • Click save.
  • Click each corresponding WAN tab above that same screen (WAN, WAN/LAN1, etc).
  • Drop down "Connection Type" and select your connection type (PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP).
  • Enter the username and password you received from your ISP. (click save)
  • Do this for each WAN connection. (click save)

THEN

  • Click the Transmission section on the left.
  • Click Load Balancing.
  • Make sure "Enable Load Balancing" is the ONLY box checked. Uncheck "Enable Application Optimized Routing." (click save)

 

Should work now.

Hi  @StellaProd 

 

Thank you for your kindly sharing!

 

For someone may concern:

"Enable Application Optimized Routing" is special designed for some authentication application. For example a band app will require you to re-login if it detect your IP changing. So this kink of app should only use one WAN IP.

  @StellaProd 

The TP-Link ER605 Omada router has multi-WAN ports, so it can connect to more than one modem's network ethernet output...or a ONT ethernet RJ-45 jack if you have fiber, but it can not aggregate the ISP's bandwidths together.

 

The router has a "Load Balance" function. It also has a failover/backup option too so that when one ISP is down, the router will switch to WAN2 in about 25 seconds in my experience. But it does not sum, or aggregate, the two WAN ports bandwidths.

  @MacDude ....that's a let down.... does any product that you know of 'aggregate the ISP's bandwidths'?

  @Bob_B sure, there are some, but on the same time you can insert second network card into your pc and configure bonding. Any device with proper hw can do it, you could look up cheap non industrial pcs with multiple lans, like hystou. Before buying expensive hardware to do the job, test first bonding for cheap/free on your pc.

 

Even if router/switch has no support for it, you still can resolve it by software on your pc.
