Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi, this is a sort of pre-sale "How to" question.

 

Consider this: 

 

House A has slow but reliable DSL (2M / 500kb!).

 

House B has slow but reliable DSL (2M / 500kb!).

 

House A and B are about 2000' apart, and cannot get any other service -- yet.... more on that in a moment...

 

If I set up a  link between houses (Ethernet with extenders, or a WiFi bridge) could the TL-R605 (or ER605?) be used to 'load balance' the two slow internet connections? 

How would this be configured?   The networks could all be combined into one Network, but would not want to have DHCP only in one place as that could take the other site down.

 

Once this is solved, could this be done with THREE houses and 3 DSL connections?

(And before you ask, the DSL provider does NOT support bonding -- you get what you get... rural road....)

 

------

 

Now, after the above is considered, we may get offered Starlink.  But it is in Beta and may or may not be reliable.  But it'll be fast....    If we manage to get Starlink set up, how can that be added to the 2 or 3 house mix to boost speed, but still fail over to the DSL if the sat goes out?

 

Thanks SO much for anyone attempting to assist with this configuration challenge.
