SRX5308 - Possible to disable uploading through a specific WAN port?

We have two connections:

WAN 1 is a 40mbps T1 line that is shared with other companies in the office

WAN 2 is a private ADSL line that gets 15mbps down and 0.8mbps up

 

We want to utilize both WAN1 and WAN2 for downloading but only want to utilize WAN 1 for uploading.

 

The current issue we are having is that when we upload large files, sometimes those files are getting routed through WAN2 so they go at a snails pace.  Is there a way to limit uploads from getting pushed through WAN2 and only going through WAN1?

 

I've set the upload speed for WAN2 to be 0 in the settings in hopes of the router not pushing uploads through that port but it has no effect.

 

Thanks!

Hi Forcefields,

 

Welcome to the community! Smiley Happy

 

Based from your concern, its not possible to only utilize WAN1 port for uploading.  Kindly answer the questions below:

 

a. How do you know that files are getting routed through the WAN2 port when uploading via the WAN1 port?

b. What is the current firmware version of your SRX5308?

c. Are both the T1 line and the ADSL line subscribed to only one Internet Service Provider?

 

I look forward to your response.

 

 

Regards,
