I have the tp-link TL-R470T + load balancer, I have configured WAN 1 with MI ISP (Cable Onda) and Wan2 with another ISP (Cable & Wireless). WAN 1: Dynamic IP. WAN 2: Dynamic IP. I have problems for the TP-link to recognize me the Internet of WAN 2 which is by DHCP, When I remove the network cable and put it back in the wan2 it detects the.
I do know that when most of the people on the internet enable dual WAN with load balancing, they still have a working internet connection, and those that are using 3G/4G modems report data usage on them. So, enabling 'load balancing', however it works, is directing some traffic through both connections, without breaking things entirely.

If you want to use the 2 WAN connections at the same you have to chose the option Load Balancing. Make sure to put correct data in the field Max Bandwidth provided by ISP. And for the Network Service Detection, whatever IP you chose make sure that it replies to ping and will not give false positive for WAN failure. The problem is likely related to the TYPE of load-balancing you are doing. Most often, it is Round-Robin (ie: distributing the outbound traffic loads across ALL available interfaces to maximise throughput). I'm not sure what metric the Asus uses. It could be actual bandwidth, or it could simply be number of individual connections. As an example of how you could see problems. Lets say one ISP is 10x faster than the other. And lets say you set load balancing to 1:1. You would essentially be limited to the slowest ISP.

Dual-wan (multi-wan) routers, a.k.a. load balancers, allow you to use multople internet connections, and will generally double the overall throughput of your network, however, they will not increase the download speed of a single connection, or a single download.
They are usefull in environments with multiple simultaneous connections, where different transfers can be routed over different external IP addresses, effectively doubling the combined speed of all simultaneous transfers. One notable exception is using P2P software, or other similar programs that open multiple connections for the same download.
The most common load balancing routers support per-destination or per-packet balancing. Per-destination load balancing means the router distributes the packets based on the destination address. Given two paths to the same network, all packets for destination1 on that network go over the first path, all packets for destination2 on that network go over the second path, and so on. This preserves packet order, with potential unequal usage of the links. If one host receives the majority of the traffic all packets use one link, which leaves bandwidth on other links unused.
Per-packet load-balancing means that the router sends one packet for destination1 over the first path, the second packet for (the same) destination1 over the second path, and so on. Per-packetload balancing guarantees equal load across all links. However, there is potential that the packets may arrive out of order at the destination because differential delay may exist within the network.
Some business grade routers may also support unequal cost load-balancing (IGRP and EIGRP routing processes), setting preferred routes, OSPF cost, BGP path selection algorithm, etc.
Note: Reportedly, some older residential dual-wan routers may have buggy implementations, causing some issues with VoIP,VPN and even SSL connections, especially if using per-packet balancing.

I have a 'limited' dual WAN setup working with BitTorrent. A torrent client should be assigned to one WAN interface exclusively for it to work well. I use source local IP and source port ranges (set in advanced settings of µTorrent) to accomplish this, and have two clients seeding for each IP.
Automatic load balancing where the client can establish connections via both WANs didn't work well enough. Remote peers eventually saw both of my IPs and tried to establish new connections to the one that was currently not connected to them. When my peer received the new connection, the previous one having the same peer-id was terminated, the peer was 'kicked' by my client, and the new connection took its time to ramp up to full speed (subject to latency and TCP slow start). The WAN interfaces kept switching around like this every few minutes.
I use MikroTik 'Per Connection Classifier' to distribute other connections (not bittorrent). The 'both addresses' mode is the safest. A pair of hosts local and remote always use the same interface.

Unstable or patchy Wi-Fi connection is a real bummer. That is fatal if you can not afford to be disconnected from the internet, even for the tiniest bit. If you find yourself in such a situation very often, it makes sense to get a secondary internet connection as a backup. However, switching to the secondary connection every time you face a downtime, ends up eating too much time and ultimately defeating the purpose.

Hence, if you own an Asus Router (like the Asus RT-AC68U) which is capable of handling multiple WAN connections (aka Dual-WAN routers), it’s best to configure the load balancer mode.

The advantages of load balancing on routers are many. For one, the load is evenly distributed, thus making it easier to route Internet traffic optimally across the connected devices. Secondly, even if a single connection goes down, the load balancing prevents a complete shutdown by rerouting the traffic. Interesting?

Well, let’s get down to see how to configure load balancer on Asus routers.

You can either set up the secondary connection as an Ethernet connection or even use a USB tethering device such as a phone or a 4G modem.

If it’s the former (which we’ll be seeing below), you’ll have to utilize one of the LAN ports for the secondary connection.

How to Configure Two Ethernet Wired Connections as Load Balancer

First things first, connect the primary Ethernet cable to the WAN port and the secondary Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports and make sure to note down the port number.

Step 1: Log in to the router interface using your admin username and password. Once done, select WAN from the left menu which will open the WAN home page.

Now click on the tab marked Dual WAN.

Step 2: Next, toggle the switch labeled Enable Dual WAN. Now, you’ll be given the options to choose the primary and the secondary WAN.

Note: Moving forward, we will address the primary WAN as WAN1 and the secondary WAN as WAN2.

Step 3: To set your primary connection, click on the Primary WAN drop down and select WAN.

Step 4: To set your secondary connection, click on the Secondary WAN dropdown and select Ethernet LAN. Now, you’ll be given the option to select the LAN port. All you have to do is pick the port (where the cable is hooked) from the list.

Step 5: Once you’ve done that, select Load Balance from the drop down and specify the Balance configuration.

You should specify a load ratio that corresponds to both the channels’ bandwidth. Do note that load balancing doesn’t work by distributing packets. Rather it works by spreading the connection attempts between the WAN1 and WAN2.

So, if you have both the connections at the same speed, a configuration of 1:1 will enable a 50-50 balancing. That works best if both your connections have the same speed. If not, you can set it up as 3:1.

In this case, if you have to download five files, the first three files and the last one will go through the primary WAN while the fourth one will make use of the secondary WAN.

Once you’ve configured the load balance ratio, hit the Apply button, and that’s it. Congratulations! You have configured lo
