openmptcprouter VS SmoothWAN

https://www.openmptcprouter.com/

I mentored the port of MPTCP to OpenWRT years ago, and OpenMPTCPRouter took some of this work in their port.

Something which goes further than this, but works very well for my use case and would probably suit others in the WFH crowd: OpenMPTCProuter [1]

This handles failover between connections and also aggregates them using MultiPath TCP to maximize bandwidth & overall reliability at the expense of increased data usage and the cost of running a machine somewhere with a decent connection, even a cheap VPS.

I'm using it to aggregate ADSL, Starlink and 4G, resulting in a stable 250mbps/50mbps connection.

You might want to take a look at https://www.openmptcprouter.com/.

I do the same and for the same reason, but I use https://www.openmptcprouter.com/, which is open source. It's game changing!

If you're looking for a bonded type solution similar to Speedify, I've had good success with a raspberry pi, an inexpensive 10 port gig switch, a DigitalOcean droplet and https://www.openmptcprouter.com/.

I get a VPS, preferably with Debian or Ubuntu and set it up as described here

https://www.openmptcprouter.com/ was the inspiration

Then OP could use OpenMPTCProuter to bond the connection, thus actually getting bandwidth benefits out of the multiple carriers.

I combine them with Speedify connection bonding, running on a Raspberry Pi router with SmoothWAN OpenWRT software.

anyway, here you go https://github.com/TalalMash/SmoothWAN

I'm not savvy enough to understand half of this, but here is a little critique of MPTC from the guy developing SmoothWAN which uses Speedify for bonding:

Personally, I would do a Speedify multi-WAN router (smoothwan) on a RaspberryPi or similar with a cellular modem or two coming in set as secondary connections and a 'travel router' set as the primary connection, and it can connect to wifi networks at RV sites, Walmart parking lot, etc. Use this one with an external antenna mounted outside the RV. Then you still need a wireless Access Point, any compact wifi router could work if you're aiming for cheap, compact, and simple, or a Ubiquiti or TP-Link Omanda WAP if you want a more feature rich AP.

Speedify is a decent product. If you are looking for a router type setup check out SmoothWan. It is a project that runs speedify on OpenWRT.

Personally, I pay for Speedify, and I have it set up in my router, which is actually a Raspberry Pi 4, using this great OpenWRT adaptation: https://github.com/TalalMash/SmoothWAN
