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.
