ages traffic on the two WAN ports by user.
When choosing this option, you must define

number of WAN 1 users is achieved, further
users accessing the internet will cause WAN 2
to dial out and establish a connection. Addi-
tional users will then be placed on WAN 2.
After the designated number of WAN 2 users
has been achieved (and WAN 1 is still full)
then each additional user will alternatively be
placed first on WAN 1 and then on WAN 2.
The benefit of this setting is that WAN 2 will
only be used when there is a high demand for
internet access.
For example, WAN 1 and WAN 2 are each set
to carry 6 users apiece. The first user to ac-

and his access will take place on WAN 1. The
