MX68 SD-WAN & traffic shaping, WAN 1 and WAN 2

From our ISP, we're getting 100 down and 20 up.  When I do a speed test, I get 125 down and 20 up.  On the Meraki, I have WAN 1 and WAN 2 set to maximum Mbps (450).

 

Is it recommended to just leave it at that, or does it makes a difference if  set them to 100/20?

Kind of a big deal

If you're using Load Balancing then it's important to set those values. If you just using them active/standby then it doesn't really matter.

ok thanks, I'm not using load balancing, so I'll leave the settings to default.

It can be helpful to set the values even without load balancing, incase you do some form of bandwidth management or QoS quality of service at some point. i.e splitting 20% of bandwidth for certain tasks
