DUAL WAN routers, are they good?

I think mas mayo upgrade ka sa speed sa imong ISP. Its more expensive subscribing to dual ISP rather than single fast connection.
Then again this dual WAN connection is for stability purpose not for speed.

mas agree ko sa kenshiro change lang sya kusog na isp,pero nice pod duh kung dual para for backup...

I think. you can get a boost of you setup the load balancing to bytes or packets and not sessions. I setup my dlink router to do that and i get a boost in speed. almost the two connections added up. I have two 3 mbit connections and i can get 5+ Mbps+.

TO THOSE PEOPLE SAYS THAT DUAL ISP CAN BOOST YOUR INTERNET SPEED YOUR WRONG.
it depends on your package from your single isp. browsing the internet only one global IP is allowed to be used. dual isp is only good when one of ur isp is down and thats the time you can use the other one as a backup.

NOTE: both isp provide different ip numbers so kung mobalhin ka sa usa nimo ka isp naa gyud maputol nga connection like if your playing dota from gg expect nga ma putol gyud imo dula kung ikaw pa gyud nag host sa game daku kau balda..

@dammy.. i think what you are talking about is a failover setup. Load balancing is i think a different story.

load balancing i think is good for servers and for internet cafes. but still cant boost your internet speed

if your isp provide you a 1mpbs and the other one is 2mpbs your maximum speed still at 2mpbs.

I guess the numbers i was seeing is just a fluke. but for stateless protocols like http you can get a speed boost there especially in loading images and pages.

This is one of the downsides of load balancing, it also fails when say you are visiting a secure site. I have to turn off my one of my net connections everytime i pay something online.

for single user you cant see any difference, for multi user thats time you can see the difference the power of load balancing.
