What Is a Load Balancing Router?
A load-balancing router is hardware designed to evenly distribute traffic across multiple WAN connections to prevent overload. As a result, you achieve higher bandwidth and faster response time while minimizing the risk of any performance issues. In case of a server outage, the load balancing routes traffic to the remaining servers, still ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.
This keeps networks running smoothly even during peak traffic, or sudden increases in requests. Learn more on our internet load balancing page.
Types of Load Balance Routers
Internet load balancer routers are divided into two main types:
- WiFi load balance routers evenly spread traffic across multiple APs in high-density areas, automatically switching users to less crowded ones. This greatly improves network performance and ensures sufficient bandwidth for all users;
- Broadband load balance routers distribute traffic across multiple WAN connections, aggregating bandwidth from different technologies. Together, they maximize bandwidth, deliver redundancy, and ensure automatic internet failover.
While each serves different purposes and environments, both types aim to enhance performance and reliability for your enterprise connectivity.
-
WiFi Routers
✔ Reduced latency & efficient bandwidth management
✔ Consistent signal quality in high-traffic environments
✔ Optimized traffic distribution to prevent AP overload
✔ Scalable to support an increasing number of devices
-
Broadband Routers
✔ Increased bandwidth through multi-WAN aggregation
✔ Automatic failover for uninterrupted connectivity
✔ Cost-effective, reliable internet with built-in redundancy✔ Faster response time by preventing overload
Which Type of Router Do We Recommend?
When choosing between WiFi and broadband load balancing routers, consider your network environment and needs:
- WiFi load-balancing routers are ideal for high-traffic networks with multiple APs. Load balancing WiFi routers prevent congestion on individual APs and efficiently manage device connections, ensuring stable WiFi and optimized bandwidth usage in dense areas;
- Meanwhile, broadband load-balancing routers are ideal for enterprises with multiple WAN connections. Load balance broadband routers distribute traffic across WANs and offer automatic failover, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity and higher bandwidth aggregation.

"All around Europe, the Middle East, India, Singapore, US, and the service worked perfect (except for Amman in Jordan where there were some hickups).
I used it constantly and the resulting cost for those three months was a fraction of what I would normally have to pay, while my T-Mobile roaming data bill remained at $0.00"
