Hi guys,

 

I am going to make a lan party at my place with a few friends of mine in 3 weeks. Because of my slow internet 5mbit down 2 mbit up we were thinking about taking the LTE(4G) Router from a friend, where we have 30Mbit down and 20up. Now my question is: can I combine those two Internet connections from 2 different ISP with this thing: Both routers have a WAN port so this isnt the problem.

and connect it to my 2 unmanged 8port Gb switches ?

Another friend has a mobile USB stick with nearly as fast down and upload as my other colleage. Is it possible with a USB to WAN/RJ45 adapter to get a 3rd ISP to this Balancer or do I need a Balancer where I can directly use the USB dongle, like one of these ?http://www.draytek.de/vigor3900.html

 

For those who are asking why we need internet at the lan: Maybe some wanna play LoL or Cs Go or we have to download a game from steam.

 

Every help is very appreciated.

In order to "combine" them you have to setup BGP - and that's no easy feat. You can definitely setup failover with something like pfSense so when the 4g goes down it flips to your internet - but you will still get dropped from anything you're doing during the switch, albeit it instant. Or you could designate xyz traffic (https/http) goes through 1 while all other traffic goes through another. Just... not exactly easy to setup.

 

The 4g is so much faster - any reason you want to combine them? Just remember those typically have limited bandwidth so no youtube lol.

BGP is super simple to setup :D

What he really needs to implement is an iWAN solution to properly hash the traffic across the links, lol

I tried getting two different companies to be the AS, and it took 5 months for Verizon to finally say they would do it. 5 months to get the ASN. That was the painful part for me. (Other company was megapath)

Verizon is slow but competent at least, I'm part of a project where we are testing AT&T 4G PMIP. After several months of fighting and back and forth we finally get everything sorted and ready to test only to find out in all that time they never provisioned the sim cards for PMIP, the bloody feature we were testing >.<*
