Hey Guy

I am in need of assistance.

I currently have a B593 LTE router as well as a Dlink ADSL router with a mobile and ADSL connection respectively. My intention is to get my PC as well as other devices using LAN's to connect to both routers simultaneously.

I am contemplating getting me a Dual WAN router:

My only concern is that I might have to purchase another 8 or 16 port switch to connect all my other devices.

Devices currently connected to the routers through LAN:
PC
Micro Server
TV
Blu-ray Player
PS
Network Printer
Ethernet over power adapter

Will this be a viable option? If not, what would you recommend?

Your opinions will be highly appreciated.

Regards
 
Hi, what do you want to achieve? If it is to have both available, then its easy, if you want to load balance, or if you want to-do fail over, you would need extra device.

Isn't the Huawei device having a WAN connector on the back?
Then you can use that todo failover!

I agree with this 100% if you want to use both at the same time with no intelligence then that router will work fine. Otherwise you will need different hardware.
