two broadband connections , 1 wireless router , possible??

[akitosforever]

Hi Kinship,

Il keep my query simple, I have a MTNL triband, and another broadband line , both of which I wish to share wirelessly, using a Single router,
(as my android phone does not have scope for proxy settings which is required by the other broadband line to access the net ) Is it possible?

if yes what are the routers suggested, ? and what is the technical term used for my requirement. ??
if its not possible any workarounds or ideas to get this going ?

please 4give if its to naive to be asking the above as Im too outdated to know any development in the field of networking.

Cheers

it is possible.

you will two subnets in the network with 2 different gateways, and the same wifi ap & wifi signal can be used. you can have one of the subnets broadcast by dhcp for devices that do not use the proxy, and the other one can have devices with static/ preset ip address & proxy settings.

Ok makes sense . n Thanks a lot ....nw can u or anyone suggest some decent routers for the same purpose

He can't use a single router to do the same.. Unless its a special variant with 2 WAN ports

If you have already have a router/modem for the MTNL triband then you can attach that to the one of the LAN ports of the wireless router. And attach the 2nd Broadband line to the wan port of the wireless router.

Now if you want to switch to mtnl connection you just need to change the gateway IP to that of the mtnl modem/router and vice versa.

You can disable the dhcp server of one of the devices so that there is no conflict or confusion.

But for this to work the mtnl device must be a modem cum router but need not have wifi. And all this can work in a single IP range as well.

that would be silly.

The connection which does not need a proxy can connect to the router wan port. DHCP should be setup for s subnet in such a way that the gateway is the modem internal ip that is connected to this wan port.

the connection that needs a proxy should connect to one of the LAN ports. the devices that need to use this proxy, would use the proxy as the gateway IP 7 the proxy settings in the device. such devices would have a subnet matching the proxy ip and would have manually assigned ip's only.

There are special router which are made for these type of functioning. You can get load balancing router which will not increase the speed but you will a fail safe internet as if one gets disconnected other gets into action.

ok, this thread is going nowhere....

1. its possible. theoretically and yes, products exist.

2. using lan interfaces and changing gateway ip's is useless.

3. failback/backup/load balancing is not the only option

routers are available for this. but lets keep this discussion practical.

@op : if you want to use both connections simultaneously and thats the intent of your question, that is possible.

please mention your budget, unless this is a theoretical discussion ( theoretically it can be done in multiple ways)

there are routers available at various expensive price points that make this happen.
