In the upside down world that is the internet in Thailand, a single LTE connection provides more upstream bandwidth than the 5 bonded WAN connections from my WISP. No comment.
Anyway, always looking for ‘more’, I wondered if I could buy a MAX-OTG-U4, put 2-3 SIM cards in it, make a SpeedFusion connection from it to a third Balance router I have on another site, and then plug the MAX-OTG-U4 into one of the WAN ports on my main Balance router?
I don’t want to replace the Balance with a MAX-OTG-U4 full time, because I get through 250+GB of data each month, which is far too much for LTE here, and I can’t think of any other ways to add more than 1 LTE connection for HD videoconferencing.
Any thoughts, feedback etc. gratefully received! Thank you.
You should consider to convert the Cellular WAN to the Ethernet as the Wired WAN for B710.
B710:
WAN1 - Wired
WAN2 - Wired
WAN3 - Wired
WAN4 - Wired
WAN5 - Wired
WAN6 –> Cellular (BR1/ USB dongle that support Ethernet as LAN)
WAN7 –> Cellular (BR1/ USB dongle that support Ethernet as LAN )
USB –> Cellular
Many thanks for your suggestion. I hadn’t thought of using BR1s.
However, it looks as if buying 2 X BR1s would cost ~$200 more than 1 X MAX-OTG-U4 (+ SpeedFusion license + 2 X USB modems)
In addition, I can see that the MAX-OTG-U4 would be extremely useful to pack up and take with me when travelling, whereas I wouldn’t take the single SIM card BR1.
So, reverting back to my original question, do you know if it’s possible to connect a MAX-OTG-U4 (in bonded mode) to a WAN port on the 710, please?
i could use FusionHub for the 710 and SpeedFusion for the MAX, if necessary.
For anyone interested, I have recently been told that it is possible to plug a MAX-OTG-U4 into a WAN port on the 710, but not in bonded mode.
I also gather that, while the MOTGS4 works very well in balancing / failover mode with 4 x LTE connections, one should not expect to bond more than 2 x LTE connections, and that the MAX-700 is the one to look at if one wants to bond more than this.
