Direct a Specific User IP Address to a Specific WAN Port
Here’s a picture explanation of how to set your Peplink router so you can necessarily direct the internet traffic of a specific user IP on your internal network to a specific WAN port.
If you need more than a couple of users on a specific WAN, it’s a good idea to create a VLAN network, but if it is just a single user, or a couple, this method is easier.
Instructions:
First, access your GUI using the instructions on the bottom of your device.
Next, click on the Network tab in the GUI.
Then, click the Outbound Policy tab on the left:
Now, click on the Add Rule tab:
Here’s the screen that comes up:
Now, fill out the fields.
Here’s what I put:
Service Name “Specific IP to Specific WAN”
Enable [checked]
Source [IP Address] [192.168.254.254]
Destination [Any]
Protocol [Any]
Algorithm [Enforced]
Enforced Connection [WAN: WAN 1]
Here’s what it looks like:
Your IP address field will need to be the IP of the user/device in question, and the Enforced connection may be a different WAN number than what is listed.
Remember to click Save, then click Apply Changes:
Note that the Algorithm doesn’t need to be Enforced in all cases. It can also be made Priority; this means that no loss of connectivity occurs in the event of a WAN outage if you have more than one WAN established and set.
Ultimately the Algorithm will depend on your situation.

Hope this helps your networking solution!
