To enable the Dual WAN function, configure the Dual WAN Type to “Fail Over.” The primary WAN is the main WAN to use and the secondary WAN is a backup for use when the primary WAN internet connection is disconnected.
Both primary & secondary WAN support Ethernet, USB, and Android tethering.
1. Ethernet: The common WAN using an internet cable for communication
2. USB: A mobile modem with a USB port for communication (ex. HU7600, LG SD711, etc.)
3. Android tethering: An Android OS-based device using the tethering function through a USB port for communication (ex. Nexus 5X, Galaxy Note 5, LG V20 etc.)
Fail Over Type
When both WAN are connected to the internet, communication is through the primary WAN. If the primary WAN is disconnected from the internet, the secondary WAN is used to connect to the internet to minimize communication stoppage. If only one of the WAN is connected to the internet, communication is though that WAN.
The following shows the Ethernet as the primary WAN and an Android tethering as the secondary WAN.

3. Android tethering: An Android OS-based device using the tethering function through a USB port for communication (ex. Nexus 5X, Galaxy Note 5, LG V20 etc.)
Load Balance Type:
If two WANs are connected to the internet, both WANs are used. Therefore, both internet bandwidths are used, increasing internet speed versus using just one WAN. Each WAN communicates equally. There may be a difference in speed according to bandwidth, line status, connection status type, etc.
In the case when only one of the two WAN is used, communication is through the connected WAN.
The following shows an Ethernet WAN and USB Modem configuration.
