A Dual WAN router or called Load Balance Router allows a router to use multiple paths to a destination when forwarding packets. With the ability to connect up to two Internet connections, the total available bandwidth doubles in capacity and therefore provides a tremendous increase in network efficiency and user productivity. Dual WAN ports also provide a failover response mechanism; if one Internet connection goes down, the other automatically takes control to ensure continuous network uptime.

Most dual WAN routers such as Cisco routers are based on standard routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), RIPv2, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or derived from statically configured routes and packet forwarding mechanisms. Other popular WAN Routers are XINCOM Twin WAN Router, DI-LB604.
