<b>Load Balancing</b> is a method of dividing traffic between multiple WAN interfaces. Load Balancing can be used to share the data load between different interfaces and increase the overall Internet speed for multiple users and connections. It is important to note that <u>Load Balancing does not increase speed for any single connection</i>. For example, if you're downloading a large file, using Load Balancing will not increase the speed of that download.

However, Load Balancing can be used to increase the speed of multiple connections. For example, when used in a WiFi network, Load Balancing would utilize the resources of multiple WAN interfaces to handle the many various requests of different clients.

When Load Balancing is selected, you can <b>assign ratio values</b> to WAN interfaces. The ratio value represents a percentage of traffic load that will go through an interface. For example, if you set it up like this:

When Load Balancing is selected, you can <b>assign ratio values</b> to WAN interfaces. The ratio value represents a percentage of traffic load that will go through an interface. For example, if you set it up like this:

<ul>

<table>

     <li>Wired WAN Ratio: 3</li>

     <tr>

     <li>{{{wan2}}} Ratio: 2</li>

        <td style="text-align: left; width: 150px;"><li><i>Wired WAN Ratio:</i></li></td>

</ul>

        <td style="text-align: right; width: 30px;"><b>3</b>

        <td style="text-align: right; width: 30px;"><b>2</b></td>

    </tr>

</table>

then about 60 % (3/5) of traffic would go through the Wired WAN interface and about 40 % (2/5) would go through {{{wan2}}}. In this case if you played 100 different videos on the Internet, about 60 would be downloaded through Wired WAN and the other 40 would be downloaded via {{{wan}}}.
