Load Balancer Question!

[moed85]

Hi, I currently have the TP-Link TL-R480T+ load balancer with 3 ISPs connected to it through cables. As you may know it doesn't function as a wireless router which I really need..

My question is how to make this load balancer goes wireless? Do I have to buy something like the TP-Link TL-WA901ND and connect it to the load balancer though cable and then it would successfully wireless all 3 ISPs?

Sorry I'm kinda noob.

Thanks!

What does the LAN port currently run to? Would a wireless AP in the network suffice?

That load balancer wont do WiFi ever, it does not have the physical capability built into it

The AP you list is sorta the same as if you could somehow open the load balancer and put a wifi chip in it. That pretty much is all a AP does is add another wifi source to a network, the boxes have very little function other than that.

Bill,

So there's no way to wirelessly connect to all 3 ISPs then?

Beezy,

Sorry I don't understand, would you mind clarifying please.

Not sure what you are now asking.

The purpose of the balancer is to connect end devices to the 3 ISP. A AP is just another method of connecting end devices. It will work the same as if you had plugged a pc into the ethernet cable...the balancer does not actually know that there is a wireless signal that was converted to etherent. Depending on how you configure the balancer it will allow access to all the ISP no matter if the signal came from a actual ethernet pc or from one connected via the AP

Now if you are asking that the WAN connection to the ISP themselves is wireless you need a very different device to do that.
