 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here. I posted this thread in the TP-Link forums a while back about a problem I was experiencing was the ER605 load balancing writer, and I've been surprised to see that my video about the TP-Link ER605 setting up load balancing, setting up failover from a primary primary one to a cellular backup has actually become the most viewed video on this YouTube channel with something like 15,000 views. So it's really good to know that other people are interested in failover internet. In any event, I posted this thing here about the problem I was experiencing at first. I set up everything and it was working, but what was happening was that it was failing over to the backup connection, even when the primary was working. So this is a title I gave this thread. TP-Link load balancer failing over onto backup connection, even when the primary is intact. So I showed the way I'd set up the backup rule and we had it back and forth about this with various people. TP-Link promising solutions didn't really actually work. And finally, I got a reply from Scott Canyon seven hours ago. And this is actually what I have set up and this is what fixed it. But the thing is I couldn't remember what finally fixed it because it took so I spent so much time upgrading the firmware and ticking boxes and unticking boxes. So I really, really appreciate this comment from Scott. This is the beauty of open source when people share what they know freely. We all benefit. Scott says, Scott mentions me and he says, I had the same problem of failover onto backup. That is I didn't want load balancing, right? So we're not actually when we're looking for a simple failover, we don't actually want load, we're not actually looking for load balancing or trying to use load balancing, but I only wanted to link backup in case the primary one failed. Here is how to make that work. Under load balancing, basic settings, general, you must select enable load balancing. This is what the TP-Link support people kept telling me and I didn't really get it because I was like, well, I don't actually want load balancing. So Scott says this is poorly named. Indeed it is. It should really be called enabled load balancing and or link backup feature. So that is indeed terrible UI nomenclature on the part of TP-Link. That button that you need to take isn't just about load balancing. It's also necessary to take that for the link backup feature. So the name change Scott suggests it's a good one in my opinion. Then he says under load balancing, basic settings on uncheck the boxes. So those are going to be ticked by default and under load balancing link backup created rule as you normally would. So let me let me take you guys into my ER605 config here. So load balancing is under transmission and there aren't that many settings to play around with. The general setting is enable load balancing. And if you look up the icon, it doesn't say that it's it's going to do backup. So it is definitely poorly named. So you want to take this and then under basic settings, you want to de-tick or un-tick application based load balancing and bandwidth based balance routing on ports. And then you want to set up your link backup. The one I've gone for it's just been just been timed out, unfortunately, but it goes. It's a simple backup rule that says if one down, if one one is down, go on to one to and I've just checked this out. And this is indeed the way to get it to work. So thank you so much, Scott. I appreciate you sharing this on the TP-Link forum. And if you're looking to get failover working on your ER TP-Link ER605 load balancing writer, these are the steps.
