Hi guys, first time poster on here on Tom's Hardware. Up until now whenever I had any queries I could usually find the answer by searching around but this time it's a bit more complicated.
What I'm looking to do is in a sense merge two different internet connections together onto my families home network. There's a DSL connection and also a faster 4G connection.
My goal is to have certain traffic such as downloads / video streaming sent through the 4G connection and traffic that requires a low ping to be sent through the DSL connection.
Even the capability to easily isolate just one computer to being connected to the DSL connection and having all other devices go through 4G for certain periods of time would work perfectly.
I've read about dual WAN routers but I'm not sure if there are any that would allow me to do what I'm hoping to do.
The 4G connection is currently coming through a USB dongle into a Mini ITX PC which bridges the connection onto a separate router to the DSL one. Whenever anybody wants to play an online game that person usually has to run around the house telling everyone to switch onto the 4G connection.
I really would like the two connections to come together onto the same network as I'm also hoping to add a home server and a few wireless extenders down the line.
If anybody has any suggestions as what to do please let me know!
Thank you very much!
