Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.1.2 Build 20240324

I'm using this router with an OC200 controller, and all of the firmware is up to date. I'm able to log in to the controller via the cloud using either the web interface or the Omada app (on Android).  I have my Spectrum Business cable modem connected to the the "WAN2" ethernet port.

 

I would like to add a T-Mobile 5G Gateway as a second internet connection and have the ER7206 load balance and fall over between the two connections. 

 

My question is: I can't see how to do this using the cloud interface. How do I turn, for example, the "WAN/LAN3" port into a dedicated WAN port? 

 

Will the options for load balance, etc., appear once I have added in a second internet connection?

 

Or is there something I'm missing?

 

Thanks very much for your help.

 

Best,

 

Subba

Hi @SubbaShankar 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

We usually refer to the unmodifiable WAN as dedicated WAN which is built to be WAN.

The WAN/LAN interchangeable WAN can be set to WAN. But it is not called dedicated WAN.

 

Once you have a second WAN ready, you are ready to use the load balancing features.
