Model: TL-R600VPN

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version: 4.0.4 Build 20200313 Rel.41831

Total networking rookie here, please excuse the probably silly question...

I am trying to setup/configure my TL-R600VPN to load balance across 3 WANs. I have all 3 as always on, but WANs 2 and 3 won't connect (they are detected as online from Online Detection but in system status their connection status is "Link Down"). I have the default factory settings still in place. All 3 are set to "always on" and all 3 are set to "dynamic IP"

I currently have no link backup in place, load balancing is enabled, and bandwidth based balance routing enabled on all 3.

Do I need to do any special or manual network/IP configuration on my TL-R600VPN or any of the 3 DSL routers for this setup to work?

@Sherifh

So your problem is you only have 1 WAN enabled right? You cannot get the other 2 WANs link up? And you said you are using DSLs to connect to the ISP right?

Pls provide some more information, topology and scerenshots of your router's management page.

@Sherifh

link down means your cable got a problem.

have you checked if the led is on on the port? that's important. link down means no physical link was detected from the port. offline means no internet access but cable's functional.
