Comment on Ask HN: A network device that doesn't exist?

Comments

Talking about consumers/prosumers, If I understand the problem correctly, isn't this done by the likes of most common multi-wan routers? I remember it was costly and we used Mushroom[1] Routers in late 2000s.

Right now, I've three Internet (kinda bonded) with failover using a TP-Link ER606[2]. Here is a simplified picture[3] that I did on a Saturday night.

My eventual upgrade that is likely to happen is to overhaul the network and move to Ubiquiti[4] and use one of their Edgerouters[5] or at the Dream Machine/Router[6][7] level (if it has the option).

The WAN router is the DHCP provider and all other wi-fi extensions / access points, picks up and distributes the Internet. So, your internets from the ISP supplies to the WAN Router.
