Draytek 2860ac dual wan was created by lucidltd
has anyone got 2860 set-up with load balancing of wan connections. I have BT and VM and would like to run both lines together vs failover. Does load balancing double download/upload speed or is it linked to whatever WAN your session is connected to?
If anyone has any screen shots of single line speed test and then load balanced speed test I'd love to see them before I make the leap to buy 2860ac.
Thanks

I've used it with my wifi router on WAN 2 when downloading large files from multiple sources. Seemed to improve things, not so much speed as combined bandwidth it seemed to me. I've only used it in session based mode though. As it used a third of my monthly wifi allowance in one download session when I was rebuilding a PC I don't use it often, and prefer to leave the WAN2 connection as a failover only. Works when needed though.
