Hi All, Just wondering if this is possible. We have a site that has no lines left in the exchange, the 4G in the area is horribly slow. Is there a way we can bond 2 x 4G devices to a Mikrotik? Etc one from Optus and one from Telstra? What device would I be looking at to get this happening? Thanks Marius ________________________________ Thinking of updating your phone system?

I think that would be dangerous to even consider with the totally random speeds you would get I think it would be a nightmare even if you got it working :-( Have you tried a proper 4G router with external antenna to improve signal ?

I've totally load balanced over 4G before (new house, waiting on ADSL etc) but would also suggest that bonding across different service providers would provide mixed results. - Andrew On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 9:32 AM, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:

G'day! 'bonding' or 'load balancing' is a the main question you should ask yourself first ;) Former is easy and relatively effective - latter is harder and notoriously problematic ;) Cheers! Mike.

I would like to Bond so they would get more than the 50k download they get at the moment, upload is even worse. There is about 5 users are the remote location. We currently have a 951 in with a 4G lte optus toggle, the toggle has a cable running with an external antenna. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Everest Sent: Friday, 1 April 2016 10:12 AM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 4G Bonding G'day!

Although bonding is /possible/ over ppp links, it is not usually stable or robust - sometimes two bonded links perform worse than a single service ;) The general gist of the method is this: 1. make multiple public address on infrastructure router (one for each bonding link) 2. make static route on client router (one for each infrastructure address, traversing a different internet link) 3. make eoip tunnel between each client internet link and independent infrastructure router addresses 4. use interface bonding to bond EoIP tunnels I gave a presentation at the MUM event in Melbourne last year, and there is a recording of the same presentation at the NZ MUM here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML0tr-9zTw0 My presentation starts at about 3:25 and the bit relevant to this topic starts at about 3:49 Pity they didn't record the Melbourne event, because someone offered a report that it worked very well for them - but despite being reminded several times who that was, I can never remember (was it Tom?) :-} Questions are welcome! ;) Cheers, Mike.
