Merging linksTwo 600mb connections
I’m thinking about merging the two connections into a single setup for better performance. A 1.2GB link should give you solid speed, but adding redundancy could protect against outages. You might want a router that supports multiple connections and offers reliable bandwidth. Consider models with QoS features and strong coverage for your space.
It's feasible though it requires significant configuration and may lead to issues on platforms using services like CloudFlare. They tend to avoid traffic from multiple IP addresses. For better performance with many users, consider LA or FO, especially if you have several clients. Hosting servers would offer advantages for your customers.
Chat with the ISP to find out if you can't cancel your current plan and get a 1Gbps connection instead. Surprisingly, some ISPs are actually useful in situations like this.
Dual WAN functions similarly to LAG by not combining bandwidth. Each connection's top speed would be limited to its own maximum. Redundancy is available, but you'd only see up to 600Mb per client.
Currently, I’m following a two-year strategy and we’re using the best internet connection accessible at the moment.
You can't achieve higher speeds, but you can implement failover and load balancing. A dual WAN router is required. I mostly rely on Ubiquti edge routers for this capability, using a Synology Rt2600AC which supports dual WAN. Alternatively, you could set up a dedicated connection for the homeowner.
