Load balancing between two sim cards from different vendors

Hello, 

 

I was thinking of installing two sim cards, one in the MX67C and the other in the MG41 so that we have two separate different radio channels receiving signals from two different towers (carriers).

Can load balance be activated between these two sim cards?

will the bandwidth be aggregated?

Sim cards are always installed originally as a backup solution, but I am thinking of that solution to mitigate over utilization and high latency with low costs instead of subscribing with DIA connection.

 

Best regards

I think the built in cellular works as a gateway of last resort.  If you have two MGs then you could load balance.

That could work.  You must connect mg to wan1.  Build-in cellular will be used as wan2.

You could achieve load balancing if you connect the MG to MX WAN 1 and enable "cellular active uplink". This feature uses the WAN 2 logic for the integrated cellular radio. So, this config would allow you to load balance across WAN 1 (connected to the MG) and the cellular radio in the MX67C.
