Gargoyle Forum

My partner doesn't have landline internet. She does however have unlimited wirless internet including tethering with '3', a UK based mobile phone provider.

Some time ago I setup a TP Link router with Gargoyle, so the LAN is managed through the router and the router connects to the phones wireless hotspot for internet. This provided a number of benefits over using solely the phone wireless as a wireless hot spot, such as the phone behavng much better when only one device is connecting and I can connect none wireless devices via the router!

Anyway to get to the point.. I've been impressed with '3' and I am getting the same contract.. My question is.. Is there any method of the router using two wireless hotspot's to improve performance, or any sort of network setup that would allow both wireless data connections to be used for a performance increase.

This, I think, requires a particularly technical solution which I cant think of.. Any advice would be appreciated..

Thanks..
Mike

I believe this is possible but I suspect this will take a long time to get to gargoyle. From my understanding your ISP has to also support this feature.

Unless your router have two WIFI interface, I don't see how you can make gargoyle connect to two WIFI hotspot at the same time.

Maybe you can use multi-WAN and run them both via USB tethering, or one using USB tethering and the other via WIFI hotspot.
