UPdate: Cannot get configured, Now I have it working as desired

I have two cellular modems I am trying to configure for WAN 1 and 2. I have tried for hours to get them configured with no success. They are showing connected with up and down traffic but I cannot access the internet through LAN 1. I cannot find any videos or manuals that help me configure this setup. Each cellular router uses dhcp with ip 192.168.1.1. I really want to like this product because the description is exactly what I want (load balancing), but if I cannot get it to work I'll have to return it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Update: So when configuring a cellular router to this router you need to change the cellular routers IP address to something other than this devices address (192.168.1.1), and add this device in the static IP list of the cellular router. You will need this devices MAC. Some routers require the device to be connected before you can add it to the static list. I was able to configure two different cell routers. I left DHCP on one and disabled on the other. As long as this router has a static reserved IP on the cell router leaving DHCP enabled on the cell router does not seem to matter. On one router I simply disabled the firewall and set it up as a simple modem bridge. On my more featured router running OpenWRT it was much more involved requiring creation of a vlan DMZ, etc. A google search will provide details for bridging cellular routers. So the WAN settings on this router are now static IP, using NAT mode, the reserved IP in the cell router for this router as the IP, the cell routers IP as the gateway, the cell routers subnet, and google DNS addresses. It works perfect after figuring all that out lol. Failover and load balancing are working fantastic.Hope this saves someone the rediculous hours I spend figuring it out.

Pros
  • Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to install and integrate into existing network infrastructure without taking up valuable space
Cons
  • May not have remote access capabilities
