|    Combining two ISPs in one router (or two    |

      XPost: alt.comp.os.windows-10       From: Ancient-of-Days@Heaven.Net              I don't know anything about routers where we have two ISP's one of which       sucks most of the time but their power stays on strong when the PG&E power       goes off (which is a LOT in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California).              The other ISP is great most of the time, but he doesn't have battery backup       so when the power goes off, their relative strengths cross.              Meanwhile if I subscribe to both, I kind of want to have both when all is       well in PG&E land. There are others in the same boat, so that's why I ask.              My question is if I add the second ISP, folks tell me I should set up two       separate routers, or, get a dual-wan router.              How well does the dual wan router setup work?       Does it combine the bandwidth or just one at a time?              Which would you choose if you have the choice of two routers or a dual-wan       router (or does it not matter)?              Any experience you can share?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
