“The DI-LB604 is the newest addition to our range of routers that includes the industry’s latest technology. It provides all the functionality needed to establish a reliable high-speed Internet link while at the same time protects past investments,” said Mr George Wong, Marketing Director of D-Link International Pte Ltd.
The Load-Balancing Router with features 2 WAN ports for load-balancing and a fast-acting fail-over mechanism for dropped Internet connections. 4 Ethernet ports provide wired connections to up to 4 computers. Thus, users can set up a high-performance network that offers the fastest and most reliable speeds, without sacrificing their past investments.
Advanced Network ProtectionWith SPI and NAT firewall with DOS attack protection, the DI-LB604 provides secure and reliable network connections. System logging, ACL and VPN pass-through protects the network against outside threats.
Easy Management and SetupThe DI-LB604 can be easily configured using its web-based management interface.
The DI-LB604 Link Load-Balancing Router will be available soon at all PC Express branches.
If from what I understand here is right, this means you can hook up two DSL accounts and combine them into one router and get an effective connection rate equivalent to the sum of both broadband connection.
So, I have an existing PLDT myDSL at 1.2Mbps and another Smart Bro account at 386Kbps. If I use the DLink DI-LB604 router, I could have 1.586Mbps connection speed on my network. If one is down, the other is still hooked up. Cool! I want one!
Sir need help pwede ba ito e setup 2 dsl line din distributed to 40 pc 20 for dsl line 1 din the others 20 to dsl line 2 pwede ba ganito ung setup kasi i need to add new dsl line. kasi medyo mbgal na para segragation ang gagawin ko many tnx hope matulungan nyo ako ty
Load balancing ginamit ko na din to with latest firmware, pldt 5mbps and globe 5mbps dapat 10mbps diba tulad ng mga nauna nyong sinasabi, pero nothing happen but it slow down my connection from 5mbps ng pldt naging 1mbps dahil nag kakaroon ng conflict sa dns. at laging namamatay ang connection ng globe . hindi sila pwedeng pagsabayin. one at a time lang talaga para ma maximize mo ang dsl speed mo. i suggest not to buy this product it’s wasting your time to configure and money for nothing.

ang hina nyo talaga!!!! ganito yan gumagamit ako ng Bayantel At SMart Bro ngaun naka assign sa WAN 1 ung Bayantel at WAN2 ung SamrtBro hinde pwede sila mag combine ng speed kc magkaiba anf DNS nila anong tingin nyo sa dalawa TUBO ng TUBIG isa sa POSO at isa sa MAYNILA kaya paginamit nyo ung dapat naka-enable ung WAN1 at BACKUP lang ung WAN2 magkakaconflict talaga mag sabay sila ano ba kayo mga SIRANICHIAN yata kau alam nyo lang yata ay mag DOTA at mag cabal ayusin nyo mga network nyo heheheh
Hi, if you want to load balancing, use pfsense. its a free router with firewall capabilites. all you need one extra computer if you have. install the software and enable the load balancing on it. but keep in mind load balancing doesnt mean that you will be able to combine the speed of two seperate wan lines.
thanks
Mga bobo!!!…
Marlou , baka pwede mo ko mabigyan nung version na sinasabi mo v.1.02b0H_TW o kaya bigay mo kung saan website idownload yan?
Thanks
Josie
Guys update nyo lang firmware nyo. Posible na masolve mga prob nyo. Firmware Version: v.1.02b0H_TW Built Date: Apr 7 2008
mga dude gamit din ako ng dlink-lb604 sa computer shop nung una asar na asar na ko kc hindi ko sla pedeng pagsabayin…hindi cla ngcombine ng speed..pldt mydsl (3.2mbps) At globe(2mbps) ngkaproblema pa ko ng pinagsabay ko cla, nung dsl p lang ok connection minsan lng disconnected sa pldt (pldc) heheheh. ang nakastatic ung pldt at naka dhcp ang globe naging ok sya pero hindi ng combine. load balancing lng nga(traffic lng ang ginagawa nila). disable ko n lng ung load balancing para magamit ko ung globe as backup and static lahat ng computer and dns nila ung gateway din. kong sakaling mgdown ang pldt!! try ko disconnect ung pldt nag-up ung globe mas ok n ko dun.. kesa mgalit mga players ko.
I have this router installed in Tacloban, Leyte but have not been able to get it running in any reasonable fashion. It does not perform at rated speeds on a single provider nor balance anything. It is hooked to Globe and Bayantel
“So, I have an existing PLDT myDSL at 1.2Mbps and another Smart Bro account at 386Kbps.”
That’s totally wrong..
You’ll just end up with 1.2Mbps
flash it with the latest firmware m0r0ns.
I think it just load balances but can’t do the additive bandwidth. It sounds difficult given the constraints of the TCP/IP protocol.
mr or mrs aki, i told you that D-Link DI-LB604 is fake.

how do you configure two connection in 1?…
can u tell me pls T_T
D-Link DI-LB604 is fake, no automatic backup if one connection fails, you have to manually remove the other wan connection enable to regain the other connection.
Has anyone used it? Also, are there any other company that provides similar routers?
I’m happy to see this device released and being publicized. Mish’s comment that there might be a better way with a dedicated server/network controller are fine, but it’s a network engineering project that the average blogger/small-time Internet business owner is not likely to have the skill set or time to implement. The D-Link solution is “plug and play”, so great for its intended market.
The issue is that for years and years we’ve all been operating “single string” … our business lives or dies based on one ISP. All ISPs will fail someday. The time has come, if we want to change a hobby activity into a sound business is develop ways to work around failures and D-Link’s offering is a great step forward.
Due to the way HTTP and the ‘Net in general works there is another advantage in load sharing. Most of the time spent waiting for a page to load is not caused by the raw speed of the connection or even the server serving the page. It’s caused by latency in all the other points along the network that packets have to transit. So 2 separate 265 kbps DSL connections could work out to be faster overall than 1 single 512 kbps “pipe” for example … because when one network drops to zero throughput due to some congestion, the other side may still be delivering packets. Alternating between all-half-all-half-all may add up to more total bits per hour than all-zero-all-zero-all.
Anyway, something to consider.
I’m often leery of “appliances” like this… often turning out non-secure, feature-locked, and horribly broken down the line.
IMO you’re still better off with an old Pentium I class machine (or even lower) with 3 NICs… WAN1, WAN2, LAN, (or the optional 4th NIC for WLAN) doing all the goodies: loadbalancing, failover (CARP), auth, packet filtering (or “SPI” in the ad’s corpspeak), NAT, etc. Total Cost: laughable.
All this with OpenBSD and pf. Or if you’re a Linux guy, I’m pretty sure it’s also possible but I’m not familiar with the penguin-ish approach
ahhh…. wrong calculation! heheh, 386 ba ang smart bro kala ko kasi 128 lang yun eh ahahaha. I don’t care about them Bayantel na ako eh haha.
oh well astig if you have two DSL connection like say 2×512 KBps connection from two different providers like globe and PLDT astig…
anybody with real life benchmarks/performance evals of this thing?
oops…google is your friend…. =)
