Does using a Cellular USB as an active disable firewall on other WAN ports?

jmizzad

I have a client in regional Australia lost their ADSL2+ port, and upon reconneciton is only running at ADSL1 speeds. I could explain how this happened, but will just say "Their ISP is Telstra" and if you don't understand why that is an issue, you're a luckier person than I am

There is a faster connection being provisioned, but this will take another month, in the interim, the ADSL1 speeds are not really usable, so we installed a USB Cellular Modem to give them some performance. I have this setup as an active WAN connection and have set it as the primary "Route Through Gateway" option for LAN to WAN

 

Since doing this, I cannot use either inbound or outbound services on the ADSL connection. Even if I enable PING on the WAN ports, I cannot ping to it.

 

Does enabling a the Celular WWAN disable the other active WAN connections & ports?

    Hi,

    no enabling USB does not disable other interfaces. Disabling really depends on your rules and what the failover setup is. Your setup has removed access to the ADSL link.

    You could try load balancing if yo wish to use both links.
