We run an office of about 50 employees, and use a Peplink Balance router to maintain two WAN connections - one with Cox cable, another with AT&T uverse fiber. We were using the fiber for VOIP only until recently - when we upgraded to 500/100 speed and started using it as our primary line. Discovered the wonderful NAT connection limits (thanks to dropped packets/connections). I've tried everything I can to setup bridge mode - but there is no true bridge mode apparently?
I've found workarounds for this issue - but they're well beyond my network expertise to implement/maintain. Is there anything else we can do to either setup full bridge mode - or help keep our connections down?
The Peplink router lets you set ratios for how much to use each connection - so my workaround for now has been to just put only 60% of the traffic on the fiber line. That seems to keep the number of connections below the danger zone.
If we can't get this fixed - what's the easiest way to "scope out" what internet services are able to serve our multi-story business complex?
Thanks in advance.
