Using WiFi port as redundant link

Using WiFi port as redundant link

Postby mackowiakp » Dec 31st, '13, 11:26

Is it possible to use WiFi port as redundant link to ISP provider router? I am connected to edge router over cable of course but from time to time - because of unknown reasons - the cable is broken. But I am in the range of WiFi network of the same ISP. As far as I know, it is the same physical router working both over cable and over WiFi.
If its possible, how can I configure the IP stack on my server?

Looks promising. Life will show you how to be real. For sure next year I'll try ;-)

Study the bonding device. That is where you set that kind of thing up.

Check the link above, provides an example bonding configuration and some explanations - although some general readup on bonding would be helpful, granted :p

LOL. I guess if I had checked the link before posting, I wouldn't have posted. But, yes. That's how you do it. :)
