Hi, can WAP AC combine/aggregate my multiple smartphones' (varying from 1 to 3) 5GHz hotspots and use those as WAN to further serve WiFi to 5GHz stations?
The expectation is that WAP AC will automatically detect if "known" hotspot became available and aggregate it to others that are already active.
If that's doable, then next question - what's the simplest way to "test" such aggregation (without all bells and whistles of auto-reconnects, etc) on my current HeX PoE + WAP AC?
So far it looks like mobile's connection is good enough if to use single smartphone with streaming service or video-conferencing, but I would like to "pilot" partial solution before I implement it at full.
I did aggregation years ago via Eth interface from multiple ISP. I also have "traveller router" that can connect to hotel's WiFi and then serve internet to my stations. So I do have basic understanding of the adjacent area.
Reasoning: I always have at least one cellphone at home with big data plan (typically there are up to 3 cellphones that supports 5GHz ac WiFi). I never use them at full so I have huge leftovers month-to-month.
I also have fiber connection.
My home setup is currently with HeX PoE as a router and WAP ac as AP.
My typical use case for internet is video-conferencing, video streaming, occasional gaming that doesn't require perfect ping.
What I thought is to get rid of fiber and HeX PoE and leave only with WAP ac.
Will be more than happy to explain/rephrase if needed.
