So with b315 and b618

Could i run a sim card in each router. Using the b315 as my main due to it has more lan ports. Then i plug the 618 into the 315 via the wan port. Would the 315 detect and use both sim and wired connection together?

Not sure on this but i can test this tonight. Ive got a b525 and b315. I run with static ip's and just have a profiles set up in linux for my pc and my phone i just switch.

Ive got a mikrotik router but just havent made time to set it up xD.

So far i havent found any options on the wan port in the router os. So not exactly sure how it works guessing its maybe plug and play. Ill play with it a bit more and see what i can find.

2 Routers into it.

Crikey, the intial outlay for this is insane just to get a load balanced solution. Wonder if I could achieve the same on a Mikrotik hAP. Doubt it would be as solid but it should still work?

Not really, nothing exvept for the load balancing router was bought new..

Lol, I'm impressed my guide made it over here too

To answer the question on why not the Mikrotek AP, I couldn't find that at the time but would certainly have been an option as it would have combined my need for a wireless ap.

Regarding the TP Link load balancer, its only 100Mb ports to my knowledge. I'm swopping out one of the b315's for a B525 as my telkom contract ended and I took up a month to month with Webafrica for the night hours. Solution still working well and has even dropped in price, current monthly cost is R250+R249 = R 499pm and my speeds are still decent, way better than similar priced fibre or copper.

Also looking for something similar but for use with telkom dsl and rain lte with a schedule for when what should be active

This can be done with the microtik routerboard. this is a very good product and allows you to set load balancing on the lines.
