Hi I have 2 x ADSL connections and I want to make them both available through a Draytek 2830 router

Can this be done ?

So 2 x standard BT lines , 1 has Annex M broadband and 1 has ADSL max

Can the Draytek 2830 take the 2 connections into the device


Any help appreciated

Thanks

Yes it can, one can be done with the build in adsl modem connected direct to the phone socket and the other needs to connect at wan 2 via the supplied from your isp modem

If you set all load balance settings to default (at its menu) then it will use both lines & more often/regular of the wan 1 (the build in adsl modem)
From my own experience an other way is to tick only one wan, so with this way will divert all traffic to this specific wan port to be always in use until to untick it again
