I posted already about my routers, but I am still no closer to my goal if there is a answer. Right now I am running two bonded ADSL2+ lines into my house. They are both up to 24 meg down (more like 18) 2 meg up. We do have VDSL on the way and I ticked off the girl at the local cable company when there service sucked!!! (OK I broke my fathers rule about burning bridges) Long story short they are not going to kill themselves to help me.

OK so bonding my two drops is not going to happen so I am trying to figure out how to get the most out of them until the VDSL arrives hopefully the end of summer. At the moment the load balancing is a nightmare. The supplied routers from the carrier suck, good news is they can be configured to disable almost all of the router funtions and basically act as a modem. I am going out soon and purchase a decent smart modem yet to be determined.

I mostly Stream allot as broadcast TV leaves me with no interest at all. DISH is going Bye Bye just as soon as the wonderful two year contract is over:) I use a new Amazon Fire and a Roku as well as download sometime all at once, not to mention the other computers etc. Hence my two drops.

Is there any hardware or software that dosn't take a engineer out there that can help manage devices split between networks, Oh the BIG ONE it cant cost $$$$.00.....LOL. Thanks Everyone

The TP-Link routers are very reasonable. If your looking for low cost, the TP-LINK TL-R470T+ is very good. If you want wireless, though, then you would also need to purchase a wireless AP or wireless router. You could get a wireless AP like TL-WA901ND and both devices together would come in around $100 total. The nice thing about buying your router and WAP's separate is you can upgrade your wireless when you want without having to replace your router (and vice versa).
