You can drag & drop an interface in order to change its position on the list. Interfaces that are higher on the list have a higher priority than the ones that are lower, i.e., the device will always use the WAN interface with the highest priority as long as it is available. If it goes down, the device will start using the interface with the second highest priority and so on.

<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</u>. For example, if you're downloading a large file, using Load Balancing will not increase the speed of that download.

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 {{{wan2}}}.

===Policies===
 +
----
 +
A <b>Policy</b> dictates what the the device should do when some network traffic matches the condition defined in a Failover/Load Balancing rule. There are two policies by default, one for Load Balancing, the other for Failover. You may create custom policies that use different interfaces for Failover/Load Balancing scenarios.
