Hi
I am searching for options for a dual WAN setup. I will be doing tele rad work in the near future.
As of right now, my options will be TWC Maxx service and ATT DSL (18 mbps line). I hope once I get more settled and make some additional $$$, that I will probably switch to a business line of some sort. ATT gigafiber and google fiber are starting to deploy in our new city. Unfortunately, our rental home isn't setup for either at the moment. We will be moving in a year or so to our own home.
A friend mentioned I should consider a dual WAN router if I am going to have 2 lines running. TWC will be my primary line for the foreseeable future and would like the ATT line as back up for now.
Dual WAN routers are new to me. I've looked briefly at the Cisco RV320 router. I've seen a few other options out there as well. Don't want to spend an arm and a leg.
Other uses will be my wife and daughter using the internet or streaming movies/tv, etc.
I guess I am trying to understand the purpose of the dual WAN and what it will do. Maybe divert internet traffic to the ATT line for my wife and daughter for most purposes, but maybe have them run on the twc line with downloading/streaming? And all go to the ATT line if the TWC line goes down?
