Router for load balancing + wan aggregation

[vishalrao]

Drawbacks? Any particular area or feature you are looking for?

I'm very happy with my usage, has been stable and problem free for me.

@vishalrao you can use forwarder like shopandship or buyandship. buyandship tripled their prices now though but shopandship is good.

recently i bought a ryzen mini pc from AliExpress for 160 and was charged shipping of 24 dollars and customs of 35 dollars thanks to my IEC.

@JB701 can you link to the specs of the Ryzen you got?

i'm using it for media center though, not routing. price is slightly higher now.

Some Asus routers support dual wan (in failover or load balancing).. I have the asus zenwifi mesh router operating in load balancing mode (500 Mbps plan from act and 400 Mbps plan from excitel)... Works fine and I have got 900+ Mbps speeds while downloading games in steam and epic games

U can lookup on Asus site for routers which support dual wan I think there are many more models.

U can buy one unit as well. Mesh Nodes can be added later if needed. I have one unit of this and zenwifi mini as a mesh node.

If you guys have a PC which can be Kept always on, I recommend Mikrotik CHR.
this is very easy to use, and can do many things you expect it to do.
its affordable.
or, you can go with any Mikrotik routers if you don't have a always on PC to use.
