help OpenWrt Build for Multi-WAN Load Balancing FAQ
What problem does an OpenWrt build for multi-WAN load balancing solve?
It is meant to distribute traffic across multiple internet connections, not just rely on one line. This is useful when one ISP drops or becomes congested, because traffic can be shifted according to rules.
Can it handle failover if one upstream connection dies?
Yes, multi-WAN setups are typically built with failover behavior so sessions can continue through healthier links when a primary path is unavailable. In practical networking terms, this is the reliability reason many people use this kind of build.
Can I use it on an ordinary OpenWrt-capable router?
Because it is an OpenWrt build, it requires compatible hardware and firmware support from the router platform. The practical verification step is always flash compatibility with your exact model, because not every box exposes the same WAN interfaces.
Is this suitable for home office versus small business use?
Both use cases are common, but small business users usually care more about policy routing and recovery speed under ISP instability. Home offices use the same feature set for streaming, conferencing, and backup line resilience.
