BR2, run each modem independently to it's own LAN port.

I recently purchased the BR2 dual modem, which I have Speedfusion for business related media, but I am trying to find out if there is a way to run the modems independently for personal use. I want to run each modem to its own separate LAN port instead of using failover.

I wouldn’t need it, but Speedfusion’s data cost is too high for Gaming and Streaming.

To be honest, the use-case would be to use the Speedify windows app when the router isn’t being used for my rural studio business.

To use them individually you need a way to identify the source traffic. You requested by port which is possible if you create a new vlan / subnet and assign it to a physical port (ie 192.168.51.0/24) then you can use outbound policy to send traffic from the original 192.168.50.0 network via one cellular modem and all traffic from the 2nd port that has 192.168.51.0 on it vis the other modem.

Martin, Thank you for your help!

Oh wow, I almost had it, but I didn’t think to look for Outbound Policy.

So now I can just save config files to switch it back to a Speedfusion bonding config when needed.

Yes. You can have an outbound policy rule for speedfusion bonding that you drag above all the other rules when you want it to happen, then drag below the other rules when you don’t. Drag the rule hit apply and you can swap between the two use cases.

My apologies, I dropped out of Networking class to get a job many years ago.
Can you tell me if I am doing too much here?

Even with all of the connections set as independant from backup, can I use outbound to have Speedfusion use all three ISP? Even if they are all on VLANs?

or should I be using at least one ISP as Untagged?

I have three TP-Link switches that I am setting up, but right now I just have two going for both T-Mobile ISPs with Starlink on the AP. All are set to VLAN.

If you guys have some good refrence videos, please pass them along.

Ok, I was missing the fact that I needed to set the VLAN channels on the ethernet adapter via Windows pro/enterprise in device manager.

I always learn things the hard way. :laughing:

I don’t think that is possible with the wireless adapters because there is no way to set the VLAN from what I seen. I probably need an extra ethernet adapter, which is fine because I plan to grab a 10Gb Swich+NICs for transferring media between machines.

This project ended up not working.

Even after setting VLANs / Outbound Enforced Rules/ Port settings / All ISP independent from backup / All NIC and Switches to VLAN, the BR2 PRO would still do failovers to other ISP on each Channel.

Either that or the Speedify app was wrong.

However, after watching Martin’s videos, I seen that Speedfusion is not the same as Speedfusion Cloud. Speedfusion can be used with any virtual private cloud.

I will use Speedfusion Cloud when needed, but I can’t see using it for personal use because of the data cost.
