My aim was to be always on internert,
so the router utomatically switches from a primary wired (DSL cable, T1, etc.) connection to wireless mobile broadband network when primary service is disrupted.
I try to setup my DIR 655 in different way but i can't do this.
Before to buy i asked at shopman and he tekks my don't worry this do what u want.
So now at home i have this DIR 655 , is there anyone that use it and could tell me how to configure it,
so if internet go down i am always on by 3g networks?
I was searching a dual router that offers redundant internet access.
Please help me
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
You need a dual WAN router if you want redundant internet connectivity. That router has 1 WAN port only.
Do a google search for TP Link dual wan router, look for the ones with 2xWAN ports, you would plug in two internet sources (uplinks) and the router will automatically failover between them.
BigMike what should i do now....crash shopman head??? :-)
Anyway i was thinking first connection adsl and second h3g,
is it good? is it dual wan?

If it says 1xWAN port, it is not dual wan. If it says 2xWAN port, it is dual wan. Search the specifications or ask the manufacturer.
Just because it has physical ports does not mean it will accept multiple uplinks and offer failover between them.
Failover and load balancing is an advanced topic. If you do not know how to do it, you should not be buying this product as it will require some advance configuring to make it work once you get it home.
I have DSL and Cable internet connections. I use Linksys RV04 Dual Broad Band Router. It has two ports for broad band devices. I plug the DSL modem into one port and the cable modem into the other port. If one internet connection goes down, the router automatically switches traffic to the other internet connection. In the setup you have a choice, use one and keep the other as a backup, or use both simultaneously and load balance traffic between them.
I also wanted WiFi so I connected two LinkSys wireless routers upstream. (Needed coverage in two different areas). You plug a connection cable into a "regular " port on each wireless router and the other end of the connection cable into a "regular" port on the dual broad band router, then give each router a unique address.
If one internet connection goes down, I am still connected to the other one. I still have cable and wireless connectivity.
Is that what you had in mind?
If so, no offense sir, but... from reading your post... I would suggest you pay someone to set it up for you.

I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.
My daddy always said, "Every day above ground is a good day!"
With my TP Link setup, it load balances between the two uplinks automatically (for instance, when loading a web page, half of the connections go thru WAN #1 and half thru WAN #2). It can also load balance based on latency, so for instance of connection #1 has less latency, it will be used more up to the point WAN #2 has less latency, etc.
In the event of an interruption, it will failover to the other connection seamlessly. But as far as your software on your PC is concerned, like NinjaTrader, it has to reconnect the TCP socket connection to the Zen Fire server (or etc). So it would basically be the same as unplugging your network cable and plugging it back in 1 ms later.
I ordered fibre to my house today, I would like an adsl backup not for load balancing but for backup. I guess you can disable the load balancing function ?
