Thank you for showing the automatic setup. Everyone else is making this way too technical for a novice. They show videos about changing addresses and pinging and stuff. I didn’t even know you could just let the router do it automatically. I will be setting mine up next weekend. Thanks for the great video.

Thank you... Please let me know if all the 3 routers need to be on different ip range?

[@raghvendraverma9691]

I have 2 Routers with 192.168.0.1-255 series LAN and have done port forwarding on both the routers and I used to manually switch between routers when link was down now I decided to use tplink er605 for load balancing... How can I use the same ip range with the port forwarding from the routers? Or I have to change both routers ip range and do port forwarding on tplink er 605 and both the routers too?

[@uniqoiho8435]

do you have a video tutorial for OC200 (omada controller) hardware/software configuration?

[@adialam8335]

I may use this, in particular nodes to boost-up their bandwidth speed. But would it generate different IP? ... Im afraid it would act like router rather than switch

[@SpliffyTV]

it will only aggregate or combine connections.

[@todortodorov676]

Thanks for the video. What are the maximum R/W speeds achievable by the tp-link? Thanks in advance!

[@SpliffyTV]

Gigabit speed is achievable if u have: This router + gibabit lan port in your computer + gigabit capable cables like cat 6 Or This router + gigabit wlan adapter in ur computer + gigabit wifi router + gigabit capable cable to connect ur wifi to this router. Max internet speed can be achieved if u have the setup above.

[@3liquidthree]

Hey @SpliffyTV, I was wondering at 16:46 you set up Primary and Secondary WAN. is Link Backup necessary for the Load Balancing to work? if you dont setup Link Backup, does that mean that the 2 WAN are used simultaneously? Thank you for any info you can give me. Great Video guide BTW.

Very informative. Salamat bai! 😊 I got one and hooked up my Sky Fiber modem/router and Smart Prepaid Home WiFi as the backup. The Smart prepaid works fine, no issues. But the Skyworth modem/router of Sky Fiber is not stable. After initially connecting, the internet connectivy to the ER605 seems to get lost or blocked. But if I connect my laptop directly to the Skyworth modem/router, the connection is fast and stable. So there seems to be a problem with the connection between the Skyworth modem/router and the ER605. Any advice will be appreciated.

[@ivancarlosti]

ER605 is a good solution for homes and smb that looks for ISP failover solution, but it only works for IPv4, the IPv6 implemented on this box does not failover at all

[@SpliffyTV]

thanks for the observation, It seems ipv6 of my ISP is for business lines only. Ill try checking on this at my workplace :)

[@7budfox]

thank you for this interesting video. My ISP router provides 2.5 gbit internet via 4 gigabit ports (max 1gb per port , but you can connect ports to different devices to get the full 2.5 gbits) . Would it make sense to connect two of such ports (and so a total bandwidth of 2 gbits internet) to this router and configure the load balance ? or would it be useless since the lan port of the router is 1g anyway?

[@SpliffyTV]

in theory, yes, that would be over the max capability of this router.

[@wizajit1]

very detailed and crisp clear explanation. kudos to u and ur team for the effort :) i had a small doubt, if you could answer. can i connect this to two of my omada eap 265 and if i connect a network printer to this directly; could printing work flawlessly over wifi devices connected to the omada access points?

Hello Sir, I have 3 portable SMART wifi routers, 2 LTE and 1 5G. Will this also work? We're using it for our remote live streaming activities. I am actually aiming for 2 things = 1st is to aggregate all 3 internet sources for a faster upload speed and 2nd is to have a fail-over system in place. Thank you in advance

[@SpliffyTV]

it will work as load balancer using portable mobile routers. aggregation on the other hand, as long as you can get the pppoe information. i have a guide for that in the pinned comment. sadly, i didnt get mine from globe. :(

[@lhd7105]

Do you have a van to power this ER605 for your remote live streaming? Or would you need some hypothetical variant of ER605 that's actually battery-powered? I assume you mean "remote life streaming" as in "In real life streaming", please correct me if I am wrong.

So failure of the primary will result in interruption in a zoom call or video streaming, due to this 20-30 sec delay in switchover? Any way to keep it seamless? Would a different product like this make it seamless without dropping zoom meetings?

[@SpliffyTV]

Have u tried updating? I still havent. Maybe itd fix the time to switch?

[@toddmcmichael5505]

@@SpliffyTV did not update it, but returned it and bought a used Peplink Balance One instead. I suppose you get what you pay for most times. The Peplink switch time is minimal and SpeedFusion works seamlessly.

[@lhd7105]

I don't think seamless in the hardware would help at all. Remember, once there's a fail-over, every website you visit will see that you are coming in from a different IP address. If these websites are nice, they'll let things be, if they are not--they are going to force you to do two-factor authentication all over again. So even if there was some way for the hardware to be seamless, the sites you access will raise [a reasonable] amount of fuss any how. But the pro is that you are indeed _back in business_. So there's that going for you. For things like streaming, you are probably okay, cus what's connecting your OBS streaming facility to Twitch/Kick/KZbin is probably a simple API key. So long as the key is provided upon request, you can resume the streaming. OBS probably does it automatically. For live streaming, you can make use of an "ingesting server" to help the cause: by having some server running on a VPS or something to help display a helpful "we'll be right back" template--that's probably all you can do to mitigate viewer confusion. Have your chat moderators explain to everyone that you'll be right back.

Can this product really improve your internet speed with the dual internet provider or just help with balancing?

[@SpliffyTV]

hi :) internet speed is the speed you paid your ISP, it can only improve if you upgrade your plan. what this does is it can swap automatically from multiple ISPs if one of them fails, giving you undisturbed internet access. if what you mean by improve is if it can be used to aggregate (combine) different ISPs, then yes. you got to have the PPPoE pwds from those ISPs. im on my way of making a tutorial about it. im currently have so much on my hand right now. maybe soon :(

ideally you would set up wifi routers as access points, basically the same as far as setting up SSID, but disables routing / dhcp. So yes, connect them to any LAN port or connect LAN port to a switch first then AP (if you need more LAN ports on the router)
