Compilation of online sources?
Hello, I own a home FTTC link with roughly 70mbps speeds and low latency. My mobile phone offers 200mbps but suffers from high latency. Could there be a way to merge these two services so I can enjoy the quick downloads of 5G while still using the fibre connection for games and calls? It wouldn’t need to be a huge change, but it would help because my home connection isn’t keeping up.
I've managed to set up WAN failover on an Ubiquity Edgerouter X, which seems to be a fairly straightforward process thanks to its user-friendly interface. Load balancing WANs is easiest with the built-in setup wizard, and manual configuration can also work if you route traffic for specific devices to particular WANs without needing another router upstream. Directing outbound traffic based on connection types isn't entirely clear yet—I'm considering creating two load balance groups with different primary WANs and tagging packets accordingly using firewall rules or port numbers. I'm still exploring which hardware options are intuitive for SD-WAN or similar WAN routing tasks.
This aligns well with what you're aiming for. If you provided exact IP addresses and ports, it could be set up that way instead of relying on traffic type. I’ll likely hold off on purchasing a new router until then and explore the dual WAN options. My current device only works with a compatible dongle, but they appear to limit performance at 3G speeds.
Focusing on particular hardware feels simpler than handling "traffic type" settings (like ports or Ubiquiti app groups). It seems feasible, though it could become tricky to implement correctly if you're not using the command line. This kind of configuration is custom and isn't well documented by the maker, especially for features like load balancing and failover.
