Dual WAN


Recommended Posts

I recently moved into a new home in December and I decided to get 2 internet providers, one is a fixed wireless internet the other is AT&T internet air using 5G, I have the r3 and love it but is there a feature for dual wan for fail over and such

The Netduma R3 router does not support dual WAN or failover capabilities natively. The R3 is designed primarily for optimizing single WAN connections with features like QoS, Geo-Filter, and network monitoring, rather than managing multiple internet connections.

Super late with the reply, but is it possible to get a dual wan router like unifi or tp link and still using netduma just for the geo filter as well as 2 gamndevices if that's possible essentially usually 2 routers

Yes you can do that, just keep in mind QoS won't be very effective in that setup so it will just be for the Geo-Filter. You don't need a dual WAN router though unless you have 2 separate internet lines you're paying for and want to consolidate them with one router instead of two.

Yes I have two internet providers, fixed wireless and AT&T internet air, would i setup the netduma in bridge mode to use just the geo filter feature or it stays in router mode which would give it like a double nat setup

Hi, your idea of dual wan is related to the fact that you are looking to have better DL flow? 

In your place I would put my gaming device behind the wan with the best wan ping and my entire local network behind the other wan and I would stream the gaming device behind the local lan of the other ... ?!!!

The R3 doesn't have bridge mode and you wouldn't use it in this scenario. If you put the WAN IP of the R3 in the DMZ on the main router that'll prevent a double NAT

You can still use the R3 wifi, no need for an AP

Sweet thanks and also I contacted the fixed wireless isp and they are assigning me a public ip instead of private that way shouldn't have any issues with dmz

I went with the Unifi Gateway, I have both ISP  setup, 1 as primary other as fail over, I do see both public ips instead of private ip for the wan. The r3 as of now is plugged in ( lan port from unifi to wan port on r3 ) the unifi doesn't specifically have a dmz option just rules and port forwarding. Only thing I need the r3 to do is geofilter my games and wifi since I did not purchase a ap
