Nighthawk X6 R8000 with load balancer?
Hello there, I have two different load balancers that are not in use in my home however I plan on picking up a second Internet connection so that I can make use of the load balancing to evenly distribute my bandwidth across multiple devices and I would like some advice if what I'm thinking is even possible.
What I'd like to do is use either my Asus RT-AC65R load balancer or TP-Link 470T+ with my Netgear R8800 Nighthawk while allowing the nighthawk to stay as the router and just use one of the others as a load balancer only.
I was reading up on DCHP Relay but neither of my balancers have that feature and I'm unsure if I can allow one of my load balancers to send the two Internet connections to my netgear so I can utilize it's better wifi and qos technology.
really unsure how to go about this.
I think I got my set up working with my TP-link 470T+
DCHP 192.168.1.1 on the TP
DCHP 192.168.1.2 on the netgear
Internet is run through the TP, and then sent to the netgear via lan cable and doing so allows my QOS settings to work which is what I wanted however the speed test won't work because it does not detect the wan so I'll just input that manually.
Now I just need that second connection here ugh July 5th is the install date....
