Hello,
I recently added a second VDSL connection to my home network.
Thus I have two routers, one connected by VDSL to first provider (ISP1) and a second connected by another VDSL link to a second provider (ISP2).
They're configured as:
ISP1 -> 192.168.1.1 (255.255.255.0) dhcp on (DHCP addresses from 192.168.1.65 to .127)
ISP2 -> 192.168.1.254 (255.255.255.0) dhcp on (addresses limited to 192.168.1.128 to .192)
I can reach one ISP at time configuring my PC's setup "Gateway" as 192.168.1.1 OR 192.168.1.254 but not both at same time, as you can configure only one gateway.
I would like to load balance the two links, and was wondering if it possible to do.
I have an old Asus DSL-N55U that is used as Wi-fi router (192.168.1.2, 255.255.255.0, dhcp off), connected to both subnets, each one connected to one ISP router, and thought if N55 can be configured in such a way to subdivide traffic to the two links (for example by a routing table, that seems supported by it, or any other way) to enhance torrent speed (and take advance of local peer discovery, as one provider give best performance when torrenting with other peers on the same private ISP network (10.*) where router is connected, while the other is directly connected to internet with a public IP address, though dynamic and not static ).
I tried to set 192.168.1.2 (N55) as gateway on PC but this do not work.
Any suggestion? Is it possible? Alternative to load balance torrenting on two WANs ?
