need to combine T1 & DSL connection - how can i ?

Post by troyquigley »

i have a T1 with 512kb of bandwidth
i am getting DSL with 1.5 of bandwidth

i want to be able to combine the bandwidth, or at least somehow tell the workstations to use both connections

can i just add the 2nd router ip to my GLOBAL scope in the DHCP manager ?

can the DHCP manager actually assign 2 gateways, and if so, will the workstation use both or just chose one ?

i am trying to find a way to use both connections without spending alot of money on new equipment
intel e4300 @ 3.1ghz (arctic cooling freezer 7 pro)
asus p5n-e sli
evga 8800gt superclocked 512mb @ 650/1625/1900
a-data ddr2 800 4gb @ 775mhz
audigy 2 | wdc wd1600js 160gb sata

You need a dual WAN router. Also known as load balancing routers although TRUE load balancing routers for commercial use are very expensive.

This is reasonably proced and designed for home or small office use:
