I'm currently far from the exchange (DSLAM)
I was wondering if any one did try to bond several dsl connections?
I have a load balancing router and I have an unlimited VPN account ( if that might help)
I did it already with a mikrotik router, I bond a 6-8mbps and a 2mbps unlimited connection. It reached 9-10mbps maximum. Just forced to both to be in diferent gateways.
Cool how did you test your connection?
Did you download a file using download accelerator or did you stream a movie?
The reason I'm asking is you get the same result on load balancing if you are using multisession app. unlike youtube or netflix streaming.
what are your ISP(s) ? they should configure it also from their side
The ISPs were both on OGERO, I just configured from my side. I test some downloads files, with and without download manager, both managed to download from both lines.
Thank you for your feedback.
Technically I can't see how it is working. But who cares since it is working :)
i was searching for a router that can do that job, and i found the Asus RT-AC5300 but will cost around 600$, any alternative?
What feature are you referring to? All Asus routers from 40$ till 600 $ have the same ASUSWRT software.
Link aggregation feature to combine two lines with different speeds (with asus combining Ethernet lines)
Correct me if I'm wrong but this link aggregation you are talking about is on the lan not wan.
Zackfarran wroteon the Lan yes
Why would you need such thing?
It was a fantasy of mine, back when cable ruled and DSL was a distant dream.
It's also known as Inverse Multiplexing.
You will need an endpoint outside your network, to recombine the signal into one. For example on a VPS (not VPN) somewhere outside Lebanon, with a 100mbps connection to the internet.
Another option is load balancing, so you have two DSL connections and the sessions get distributed across the two. It will result in a different type of performance gain
There are solutions to do that and I have seen someone implement that in Lebanon.
For inverse multiplexing, to go back to the original topic, I am not too familiar with any solutions. I know that you can do many things with Linux, and with some work and time, it sounds possible to set up such a system.
That's roughly the extent of my knowledge on the topic.

Actually i researched that and i concluded that this is only a NAS Link, it wont be useful.

Can i know what is required and from where i can get such a modem?

i am not a networking expert, i just want to combine two different DSL lines with different speeds, as ogero cant offer more than 4mbps in my area.

I did using https://routerboard.com/rb750gl , both lines were set to bridge in the modem and PPPoE was dialed in the Mikrotik. You can find several tutorials in the internet.
Also the router costed me around 50 dollars outside Lebanon.

Glad to hear that.Currently considering buying a new line and proceeding with the project. Still not sure about the added value VS price that I'm willing to pay.

It is mostly based on a PCC (per connection classifier), it is a kind of loadbalance, but it works, downloads were coming from both lines.
