Hey there, I see you're managing a pretty complex network setup. You've got VDSL going through a modem, which connects to an Apple Time Capsule, and then wirelessly links several devices—including another capsule upstairs, a few computers in your study, and access points in the garden and garage. Everything seems to function smoothly right now.
You're considering adding a 4G/5G modem to boost speeds, but you're curious about combining it with your existing VDSL connection. I’d want to know if a load-sharing or bonding router would work well here. Also, how would you connect the Apple Time Capsule without causing issues like NAT or IP conflicts?
Since you’re planning renovations and have experience with wiring, you might be able to integrate new hardware without major changes. Just make sure the devices are compatible and can handle the load sharing setup. If you’d like, I can suggest some router models that support multiple connections and load balancing. Let me know how you’d like to proceed!
Apologies for the confusion. You can link two internet connections to boost speed, but they need similar speeds from the same provider to avoid packet splitting. I plan to use the same ISP for both VDSL and 4G/5G, though I’m unsure if bonding works even with the same provider using different methods. To be safe, I’ll stick with a load-sharing router, which should handle it well since each connection is fast enough on its own. Problems arise only when multiple users try to use it together.
Are you looking for quicker speeds with one TCP stream or across several devices? If it's just one stream, consider a bonding setup such as a VPN that handles bonding or an SD-WAN option. For dual WAN across multiple devices, there are many routers available like pfSense, Untangle, SonicWall boxes, Fortinet boxes. For access points, Unifi is likely the best choice if possible, offering good value and affordability.
Electronics Wizardy is great. It seems better suited for multiple devices or users, so I’ll go with a solution that handles dual WAN connections rather than merging them. Unifi access points are becoming more popular as I explore this. For your questions, they appear to support PoE and MESH functionality.
Unifi works with PoE. They can connect via mesh, but if you're powered through PoE, it's better to use Ethernet instead.
