How To Get Very Reliable Home Internet (Failover / Multi-WAN Connectivity)

If you're struggling to get decent home internet connectivity then this should provide lots of information about how to set up a very robust home internet setup involving a primary (wired) and backup link.

Discussed:

- Internet failover
- Load balancing routers (and SMB routers + wired routers + VPN routers)
- Speedify
- The difference between failover and connection bonding

I really appreciate the context you provide and the way you present the solutions that are similar but not the same (to help reduce confusion). Super helpful.

Is there a way to run a rule set of a specific throughput cut off. Eg. Eth0 drops below 5mb (4 example), it fails over or will it only failover on complete disconnect?

If you're gonna dump on a manufacturer like TP-Link and say things like "I don't recommend them.." even though you're clearly using them for your video, at the very least you owe your audience an explanation as to why you don't recommend them. I don't find anything particularly inspiring about TPL to be fair, but there's nothing terribly wrong with them either. They fall into that prosumer niche of providing cheap, generally reliable equipment, and their recent Omada platform, which is basically a direct ripoff of Ubiquiti's Unifi stuff, is actually quite useful and easy to deploy. Most SMBs in the target segment for that kind of equipment don't want to spend thousands of money on more enterprise grade equipment like Cisco, and/or simply don't have the IT staff or infrastructure to support it anyway, so in that sense, you should reconsider just vaguely criticizing an affordable option like TPL.

I edited my original comment to clean up some typos and missed words, just fyi.
