I’m no Mikrotik pro yet… but know enofe to be dangerous =)
The goal is to auto bond an LTE connection with a Starlink - Pepwave sells there service to do this, but could I do this with a Mikrotik? I’m guessing my office would have to be the hub that it all bonds too before going to the internet. But not that I’m cheap, just don’t want to be using someones cloud service for this.
Or do I use something like Wireguard running on them?
Anytips are helpfull
No you cannot do this with MT equipment.
In your case dual wan gives your users to overall access more bandwidth to share but one cannot combine the bandwidths in a single session.
You also gain redundancy/backup in case one wan fails and starlink wont hold up in a heavy downpour and probably not a heavy snowfall…
would exploring Wireguard or Zerotier get me something like this?
Nope…
Yes, you can–sort of. If you build two tunnels over the different connections back to your own office, you can bond over the tunnels. No single device would get better bandwidth than one of the links, as the current bonding technologies assign individual flows to one path or the other. Simply put device 1 goes over path A, device 2 over path B, etc, in a round-robin fashion. But the home/office as a whole could benefit from the combined bandwidth.
I’m (still) labbing this out at home with two Starlink connections into a hAP AX3. (I could add an LTE connection for fun I guess.). One of these days I’ll post the config that lets you set up load-sharing + redundancy over two different Internet connections using tunnels back to a single point online, like a cloud-hosted server or router.
Keep us posted on that
That is accurate and NOT bonding, and thus as stated it is not possible, just another form of load sharing.
Wouldn’t per connection classifier make it look like it would be using both? Granted a single http download will use only one link, but if you launch multiple connections it should use both.
That is called load sharing yes LOL
You can bond two EoIP links using LACP, if you really wanted to. It’s not as good as using Layer 3 techniques, though.
Has anyone developed a similar alternative to SpeedFusion Hub? Even if Mikrotik decided to create its version of SpeedFusion hub. It would be interesting.
Just reviving this post - anyone have new ideas on bonding WAN’s? eg a Starlink and LTE
