Hi,

Alternatively, but I am biased as a pfSense developer, you could setup =
pfSense with multiple usb 3G or 4G sticks.
pfSense has firewalling, some QoS, a traffic shaper and limiters. And =
the firewall rules can give you granular control over which traffic goes =
where. The limiters are really useful in my opinion, we use it at work =
to prevent us from DoS ourselves.
https is a bit of a issue since you need to direct that out 1 =
connection, most https sites seem to have issue with sessions moving =
across IPs. A local proxy server is often a good idea, or run it on the =
pfSense box itself if it is beefy enough in transparent mode, although =
that will complicate load balancing.
If you also need IPv6 you need the 2.1 BETA, you can use NPtv6 to load =
balance traffic over multiple tunnelbroker tunnels (each bound to a 3G =
stick) using a single LAN prefix. Same as with the https example above, =
use the 1st real prefix on the LAN and NPTv6 load balanced connections =
going out the other.
I'd say this costs a few hours to setup and test, no idea what your =
budget is. Your are probably going to spend quite a bit more time and =
money on getting good wireless coverage on both bands. 2.4Ghz is awful, =
5Ghz works amazing for unobstructed view, or per room if you will.
Best of luck,
