I am just doing some speed-tests with Speedfusion, but there is one thing that confuses me:
Balance One connected to Balance 710
Balance One has one fast ISP and one slower ISP - both set to priority 1.
If I plug in only the fast ISP in the Balance One, I can get about 30 Mbps (as written in the datasheet).
If I plug in the second ISP, Balance One tries to use both ISPs and Upload-speed drops to 8 Mbps.
Shouldnt the router detect, that it should use the second ISP only if it makes the connection faster?
No not really, as you might want to use SpeedFusion for packet level reliability rather than bandwidth bonding.
You can adjust how and when SpeedFusion uses a WAN link dependent on its characteristics (ie measured latency / detected packet loss), so you can limit the negative impact a poor quality link has on the overall bandwidth availability.
Yes it can, but you need to work out what is causing the perceived drop in speed when bonding the two connections. Adding a good quality 2nd WAN to the balance one should not cause overall bandwidth availability to drop.
What is the 2nd connection? What do you see in the SpeedFusion analysis graphs? I suspect the 2nd link has either lots of jitter or packet loss.
