Hello, current I use satellite Internet which many of you probably know is highly unstable in certain locations. In my location it is very unstable but has good speed. Yet, there is another company internet that gives internet in my area with low speeds but is stable. I was wondering if there is a device I could use to have them run at the same time to give me a stable and good internet speed. I will only use for my ps4 and computer. The satellite internet rovides11mbs and the regular ISP provides 5mb.
I want to use two internet service providers at once

IIRC, Satelite service uses phone lines as the uplink...and I'm guessing the other service is some form of DSL. To that end, I'm not sure you'll be able to use both.
Moreover, it seems like a big waste of money to pay for two services that would most likely conflict. Why not settle for the 5Mbps service? In addition to being more reliable...I'd wager it's cheaper than satellite as well. GL friend.

With Dual-Wan, you have exceeded the expertise of this forum. Basically you are looking for a router with Dual-Wan capability and able to load-balance and do failsafe. This would be a business/enterprise class router. U find one, come back and tell us.
I suspect the short answer is no.
There are a couple of ways to implement this a dual wan router being one. They suffer from the same issue. You can run them as primary and backup which they work very well at. Then again it tends to be simpler to move a cable if it does not happen a lot. You can run some machines on one and other on the other. They do this very well also but again plugging certain machines into certain routers is easier.
You can also with a massive amount of tedious work make some application use one connection and others user the other.
The thing it won't do is combine both together to give you a faster connection. You for example can not combine internet connections together to say watch a HD netflicks movie.
