This is how the WAN routers work for the most part. I had a chance to play with a few different 2 wan port routers.


you cannot aggregate multiple lines with them. What happens is that if you start uploading then the upload will go out DSL-A and if you open another upload it'll go out DSL-B (most times) but never will the same upload go out both DSLS.

If one of the DSLs fail then the WAN modem fails to the other DSL line until the other comes back up and which point it'll do what i said above. Alternately you can run off one DSL and use the other just as backup.

If you want to bond/bind/aggregate your incoming traffic then you'll need to work with your ISP on that (which most large guys wont bother to do).
