MultiWAN on RT-AC88U with Freshtomato

[popxunga]

Hello ...
Can someone confirm if it is possible to have a stable load balancing dualwan setup (using the WAN and ETH1 ports) on a RT-AC88U running Freshtomato ?
Thanks in advance.

The wiki claims it for FreshTomato on MIPS or ARM architecture (MultiWAN)

tomato (firmware) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

From the FreshTomato website features table - LACP is what i think you are looking for. According to the table, CLI only, no GUI for AIO devices with the correct Broadcom MIPS or ARM architecture.

There is also a link there on the opening page to databases that can confirm the specific hardware client device.

What does this have to do with Asus-Merlin?

It is possible. How stable - you are about to find out. The proper forum for your questions:

Tomato Firmware

Discussion of Tomato Firmware and any router supported by it.

I would purchase ER605 router instead for this purpose. It does Multi-WAN properly for $60:

Omada Gigabit VPN Gateway

Omada ER605 supports Gigabit Ethernet connections on both WAN and LAN ports and multiple VPN protocols and high-security, high-performance VPN capabilities, making employees’ remote connections to their main offices as secure as if they were in the main office.

Hi ... nothing.
Just asking for a few pointers once I have to (unfortunately) stop using my ac88u with Merlin firmware as my main router.
@Tech9 and @degrub already gave me some.

Hi ... nothing.

Just an FYI. There is a different subforum for Asus AC router discussions that are not directly related to Asus-Merlin.

ASUS AC Routers & Adapters (Wi-Fi 5)

Use this forum for posts related to the ASUS 802.11ac devices, such as the RT-AC66U, RT-AC56U, RT-AC68U, USB-AC53, etc...

Don't be surprised if mods move your topic to a different subforum.
