    I was searching for wireless routers when I came across the HotBrick LB-2 it has two WAN ports, does that mean you can use two ISP's at the same time? I've never heard about this type of router before, so I was wondering if you guys had any experience with this type of router. Would like to get some feedback, seems interesting, if anything I would like to try them out, since they have good reviews.

    Thanks,

    you can actually get multiple WAN routers, but, dual WAN routers are generally more popular than more WAN ported routers (2, 3, 4 etc WAN ports)

    here is a very good description

    basically one or more ISP(s) is used simultaneously and as an automatic backup, so, if one connection goes down for whatever reason, the other connection(s) are used, and you never know which connection is being used & TBH do you care

    Edit: also look here
