New Features/Enhancements:

1. Multi-WAN

We introduced the Multi-WAN feature, enabling users with multiple internet service providers to add two or more WAN connections. This achieves two primary objectives: 
(a) Ensuring network connectivity stability through seamless failover during service disruptions; 
(b) Enhancing network performance by aggregating the bandwidth of two or more broadband connections via load balancing technology.

 

You may select Ethernet, USB Modem or USB Tethering as your backup WAN connection.

 

 

(1) Failover

Failover continuously monitors the primary network's status. Upon detecting signal loss or complete disconnection, the router automatically redirects traffic to the backup network connection, preventing application downtime.
In Failover mode, only one WAN will be activated at a time. When the primary WAN fails, its traffic will switch to the backup WAN, ensuring an uninterrupted internet connection.
 

(2) Load balance

Load Balance distributes network traffic across multiple WAN links to prevent overload on any single connection.
In Load Balance mode, all connected WAN links will be activated. You may configure Traffic Allocation Priority settings to intelligently distribute traffic, thereby improving network availability. 

 

Do you know?

In Load Balance mode, you may also configure Routing Allocation rules to direct specific client traffic through particular WAN connection, thereby enabling more flexible management of your network.

 

 

2. DoH/DoT

DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS) are two methods that enhance the security and privacy of DNS queries in network communications. DoH encrypts DNS queries within HTTPS traffic, making them indistinguishable from regular web traffic and difficult to monitor. DoT uses a dedicated TLS connection for DNS messages, ensuring they are secure from eavesdropping and tampering.

 

 

3. Supported built-in easy configuration of VPN

***In compliance with local regulations, the Third-party VPN feature may be restricted to specific regions.

 

 

4. EasyMesh Improvements

(a) Add support for EasyMesh in AP Mode (as a main router)

To learn more details about this feature, please refer to EasyMesh Is Available When Wi-Fi Routers Work in AP Mode as A Controller. 

 

(b) Added support for web-based management in EasyMesh satellite mode

For instructions on this feature, please refer to How to log in the Web interface page of EasyMesh satellite router?
