Jio AirFiber Dual WAN success!

[RKhan21]

Locking certain things like not allowed to use with other ISPs is fine. But locking everything is including basic features like turning off WiFi is frustrating

True, they even combined the frickin 2.4 and 5GHz Bands and didn't even provide with an option. Looks like Airtel is the best in terms of user friendliness, as what I have seen...

How to connect 2nd WAN can you please help me?

 

[IfranAli]

@mayankgird If you have JioFiber, then only it will work
1. Go to 192.168.31.1, login as admin.
2. At the address bar, paste this https://192.168.31.1/#/WAN/DualWan
3. Enable Dual WAN and slide the slider according to your use.
4. The router will restart, and Dual WAN starts working.
Do note: Keeping it at 50:50 makes the internet a bit unstable, so keep it at 90:10 or 10:90.

Thanks @IfranAli, So it will merge the speed of both connections or it will switch between both whenever any one fails?

 

[IfranAli]

@mayankgird From what I have seen, it uses the one with the best speed. Failover not supported on this one.

Hi @IfranAli, thanks for the deep dives. I managed to load the Dual Wan page, but it doesn't show any slider even after I activate it, and restart the router. My other Wan is a BSNL fiber, if I understand correctly it only shows up if the other connection is a Jio Fiber connection?

 

[IfranAli]

@Astomee It should technically work if your BSNL has native IPv6 support with Public IPv6.
As for the Dual WAN, enable the Dual WAN first, it will reboot the IDU. After rebooting, login again and head to the Dual WAN page and then only you can slide the slider.

Hi @IfranAli, thank you for the suggestion. I did manage to enable the IPv6 settings in the BSNL router, and it says its up, but when I test it on public facing IPv6 sites they don't load on BSNL, while they do on Jio. I tested the dual Wan after changing the settings & rebooting but no luck, the slider doesn't appear.

I am attaching a grab from the BSNL router, you think that could be issue?

 

[IfranAli]

@Astomee Your BSNL IPv6 addresses looks like it doesn't support Public IPv6. Jio has RADVD to handle local IPv6 address delegation to your devices. I will say, the Dual WAN feature is trash and useless at best. So get a Load Balancer and get 3 in 1 benefits.
