FVS336G V3 : DualWAN not working when following guide

Welcome to the Netgear Community,

Please keep in mind this is a pure customer driven community, and (especially due to the fact we talk of a legacy device phased of in 2017) no Netgear support of any kind is available.

I have a FVS336G V3 as a DualWAN switch.

The tough part to start with: We're facing a legacy ProSAFE Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308, in no aspect a Managed Switch. Not that this will change much for your question, this discussion belongs to the Hardware VPN Firewalls And Business Routers section.

The main reason for this is, I do vanlife and have two 5g carriers for my internet service providers, since it takes 2 to cover the various deadzones. I am pretty much covered everywhere since i have both of these carriers.

According to the guides, it says i should use Round Robin when i am using both routers in tandem, for example in a location where i have access to both networks. if both carriers can get 100mbps in one location, using Round Robin will use both lines at 100mbps and attempt to send the same traffic across both networks to deliver my computer 200mbps speeds. If i set Weighted LB (Weighted Load Balancing) this should work when i have mixed network access, such as 50mbps for one carrier and 150mbps for the other carrier, Weighted LB will make that work at 200mbps combined, sending high traffic to the stronger network, and smaller packages through the weaker network.and reliability.
...
Anyways, the short version of the issue is, Weighted LB gives me only the fastest speed of the slowest network, and Round Robin gives me a combined mixture of both networks.

Honestly, never owned or operated any of these VPN routers. When briefly flying over the User Manual, I'm not convinced we understand the same here.

All explanation are talking of outgoing WAN (LAN.> Internet), essentially the key functionality of a VPN concentrator serving multiple clients, 

Can't see any indication the device is supposed to do any load balancing for traffic initiated from the LAN.

Fear there is not much the community can do here.
