Questions about dual WAN load-balancing routers
I'm wondering how well these devices work for
- reliability, since apparently loss of one WAN puts all the traffic on the other so no loss of internet access.
- Bandwidth, does the dual WAN setup result in twice the bandwidth, or put another way, is download speed doubled assuming there's only one user? Or is it simply that 2 uses can each reach maximum download speed on each WAN.
- Can it be configured so that a particular user primarily uses one WAN and another user primarily the other? Or can individual users be "throttled" by the admin?
Obviously I'm a novice at this, so any help is welcome, including links where I might learn more.
