Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

I have a DrayTek Vigor 2927. I bought it to balance two 1gb FTTH Fibers to a network of several computers through a switch.

I need your advice and tips to configure it in the most basic way possible.

That is, I need it to only balance the two fiber lines mentioned above, without firewall, VPN, or any other function. Just that balancing function.

Thanks very much in advance.

Set up both WANs using the WAN page on the dashboard then go to "Routing" -> "Load-Balance/Route Policy" and I suggest use the Advance Mode.

You will have to think how each LAN port should work.

You have 2 x 1Gb/s incoming but each LAN port is only 1Gb/s.

Your switch may be capable of link agregation so possibly you could send a combined 2Gb/s to the switch.
