Dear Dimers,
Can someone help me with the solution. Possibly a system admin/Network admin can answer the query
Currently most of the Dimers are working from Home, might be this thread will be useful to all -working for Offices with two ISP connections at home.
Current scenario:
1: Due to Covid – Me and my wife are working from home since March month,I have two ISP connections(Hathway & Airtel) in home. Both are on Fibre. When one of the ISP is down during the work, we are manually switching the network to other. I’m looking for a solution to avoid switching manually and looking for combined speed.
1: Router should support dual WAN and it should support load balancing with (100+40 Mbps) internet speed.
2: It should cover minimum 1400/1500 sft area.
3: Wifi 6 and dual band with MiMO technology(Not mandatory)
Looking for a device with dual WAN port with few models.

Thanks for your response. But, Asus RT-AC59U doesnt have dual port WAN.
You should probably mention your budget too. Unless you are willing to spend a bomb (I use Netgear X10 which is super high end and it does not have dual WAN) it is tough to find a wifi router (at least I haven not come across).
You are better off buying something like this and buy a wifi router to suit your needs (I guess the lower cost model has only 100mbps ports so beware of that if you need gigabit ports)

PS- I have personally not used this router and when I needed a similar setup I went with pfsense with a custom built PC (didn’t need that for long after I got ACT). If plausible you can consider pfsense if u have a spare PC
Thanks for the response rsai01.
Budget : ~9K
Dimers: May i know, if someone purchased this product : https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B005SYQBN8/ref... Awaiting for review.
Asus RT-AC59U should fit all requirements expect wifi 6
Wifi 6 is too early I say…don’t see much benefit of it right now…
