I just bought a B One Router with multiple WAN sources (two cell modems, campground WiFi, and eventually, Starlink). I have set up SpeedFusion and pushing all traffic through it for now. When testing with Zoom, I unplugged one of my WAN sources and the video stops for about 6 seconds before resuming. This is the same behavior as when I unplug all primary sources and it fails over to the secondary source. I thought it was supposed to switch over in milliseconds with Speedfusion bonding. I see data activity on the SpeedFusion status page pulling from multiple primary sources. What could I be missing? I’ll try to upload some screenshots of my setup.

I’m seeing multiple sources when I look at the SpeedFusion Status page. It’s 2nd is off the screen, but you can see multiple colors on the left graph.
Check your active sessions, and see what the zoom traffic is using.
You might need to add a outbound policy or SFC policy to send it down the tunnel.
Also you should see the tunnel showing roughly the same graph for the P1 interfaces when it’s configured correctly.

Thanks, I’ll check those. I have a question about the WAN Connection Priority settings in the SFC sub-tunnels. What do the priorities mean? I was originally thinking it was to rank the WANs in the order I wanted them used more than others, but then I noticed that if I only had one set to priority 1 that only that one was used (per SF VPN Status page). When I set multiples to priority 1, it would use both but not the same amount. I’m thinking that at the time I had then ranked 1 to 6 with only one a Priority 1 and thus why the experiments failed. So what’s the logic and how should I set these? And how do these priorities differ from the WAN Connection priorities set on the Dashboard?
I got it to work!! Figured out that I had the SFC Connect “wizard” items in the wrong priority order (didn’t realize they could be slid up/down) and, also, I was unplugging one WAN to test, plugging it back in, and then unplugging the other too quickly. Makes sense that it needs time to restore the prior WAN connection before trying to test unplug the 2nd source. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!
I’d still like to know more about the WAN Connection Priority settings in the SFC tunnel settings vs the Dashboard settings. Still unsure of the differences and if I must have multiple Priority 1’s in the SFC tunnel settings to get hot failover.

you might want to read up on the speedfusion options. hot failover is quick but you might want something like speedfusion smoothing if you want zero interruption.

Thanks for the reply. I figured out my issues - I only had one Priority 1 WAN source in the sub-tunnel (I thought I was to rank 1 to 6) and I had the SPC “wizard” items in the wrong order (didn’t realize I could reorder them). Now the hot failover works plus I have WAN Smoothing for Audio and Video
