Many individuals do this, including me, since I'm already running at full capacity. Of course, it's best done on the router, though it should still function if you're on Windows.

Choose a router with two WAN ports and configure the links for redundancy or to distribute traffic.

didn't linus use a video showing multiple isp accounts. It's quite old now. I investigated and others confirmed it works for my configuration. I wanted to launch several runs of the same software. Program 1a uses isp 1, 1b uses isp 2. Also, technically our bonded dsl consists of two separate internet lines handled by the modem and card.

He acknowledged the situation, stating it's costly and not a wise choice. It creates several issues for various reasons, so having just one internet connection is preferable if you need a backup plan. It's better to use a different provider, which introduces many challenges such as coverage and pricing.

I'll reach out in September and check if it's feasible to disable one device and boost the other. If that doesn't work, I'll go ahead and purchase additional equipment. Thanks for all the help!

The main challenge I face is gaming, since you're unsure which traffic uses the connection, uPNP isn't handling it well, and one website likely tracks users by IP address—most sites don't do that. For gaming, I rarely play online and it's still functioning properly, but you're limited by a strict NAT. Using Windows might offer more flexibility, allowing easier switching between single and dual WAN connections. You could set up a batch file to enable dual-WAN and another to disable it.

Connecting both devices isn't possible via Wi-Fi. Use one device on Wi-Fi and the other through an Ethernet port.
