Note -- I've also posted this in the forum for wired routers...
I am trying to set up an AC68U running latest stock firmware for dual WAN with load balancing. The manual and FAQs available from ASUS provide no information about setting up routing rules. I have scoured the web and the information is confusing and often in conflict. I want to clarify a few things.
1. Do I need to set up two rules for each IP address (ALL->LAN IP and LAN IP->ALL) to capture two-way traffic or does setting up one rule (ALL->LAN IP) handle traffic both ways? Lots of examples of people setting up two rules for each IP address but others say you don’t need to do this. What is the answer?
2. Can I enter a range of LAN IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.10/25) rather than a specific LAN IP when assigning LAN devices to the primary or secondary WAN? Is the example above the correct format?
3. I have a few cases where port forwarding is being used. Will these requests for remote access “get through” regardless of which WAN source is used, or do I need to specify a specific WAN for these items in order to ensure remote access. In other words, does port forwarding only work for the primary WAN, for both WANs, or only via a WAN specified for a specific device on the LAN?
Many thanks.
