Load Balancing in dual WAN: WAN1 for local internet access & WAN2 for RDP connection

HI, 

 

I am trying to configure the firewall in Load Balancing mode (Dual WAN). 

 

WAN1 to be used for local internet access (emails, browsing) and WAN to be dedicated for Remote Desktop connection. 

 

Kindly help me in configuring the same. 

 

I have configured the protocal binding in WAN1 for HTTP & HTTPS.

 

WAN2 with RDP, after configuring in this order the users are unable to login to thru RDP on WAN2.

    Hi praveenkmr,

     

    Can you confirm if both WAN interfaces are Up under the Router Status in the Monitoring tab?

     

     

    Kind regards,

        Hi praveenkmr,

         

        Here are my follow-up questions below:

         

        a. What is the model of the NETGEAR firewall you are using?

        b. What is the current firmware version of the NETGEAR firewall you are using?

        c. How did you know that the users are unable to login via RDP on WAN2 port? Kindly post a screenshot of it.

        d. Just to isolate the problem, have you tried to configure protocol binding on WAN1 with RDP then WAN2 with HTTP & HTTPS? Kindly try it and observe what will be the results.

         

        I look forward to your response.

         

         

        Regards,
