I've had non-standard home network from few days. Currently it's "twisted" because I have 2 WiFi networks, each supported by a different router. So far, I only had a TP-Link router in Room 2. Now I also have an MT hAP ac lite router in Room 1 and an LHG LTE6 on the roof. hAP ac is an access point to the 5GHz network, but the 2.4GHz radio is used to connect to TP-Link in station mode. From the hAP point of view, it has 2 WAN interfaces: one to LGH LTE6 and the other to TP-Link. In this way, devices in the 5GHz network have access to the Internet via LTE and ADSL. However, devices on the 2.4GHz network can only use ADSL.
I would like to manage failover and load balancing for the entire network in the hAP router. I need such a solution because each ISP has its advantages and disadvantages:
- The LTE ISP has a monthly transfer limit, but I achieve speeds of up to 30Mb/6Mb, although the speed strongly depends on the current load on the LTE network.
What I would like to achieve:
- client devices can connect to both WiFi networks and have Internet via LTE and ADSL
- network traffic to Internet from 2.4GHz network clients should first go through hAP, which will decide which medium (LTE or ADSL) will be used to establish the connection
- software only solution, I don't want any drilling in the walls or pulling cables. I also do not intend to replace the routers with other ones.
Any ideas welcome. I don't expect very detailed information, but rather suggestions as to what possibilities you can see with this equipment.
With regards
