Configure TP-Link ER605 Load Balancing
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a TP-Link ER605 Gigabit router and two separate internet feeds—one Cable line and a Starlink connection. My goal is to squeeze as much speed as possible out of both links by setting up proper load-bonding and balancing, not just simple fail-over. Fewer than ten devices sit behind the router, but they regularly max out available bandwidth during HD video calls and large file transfers, so every extra megabit counts.
What I need from you
• Walk me through, or remotely complete, the full WAN configuration on the ER605, ensuring both ISPs are active simultaneously and traffic is intelligently distributed for higher aggregate throughput.
• Fine-tune any necessary bandwidth-based or session-based policies so that speed-hungry tasks take advantage of both links without breaking application sessions.
• Validate the setup with real-world speed tests as well as router-side monitoring to confirm we’re getting noticeable gains.
• Provide a quick reference of the final settings so I can re-apply them if the router is ever reset or firmware-upgraded.
You’re free to use TP-Link Omada Controller, the standalone web UI, or CLI—whatever delivers the cleanest, most stable result. Once everything is live, I’ll run a few concurrent downloads and video conferences to confirm the improvement before signing off.
