Want to bond two licensed WiFi links

Hi,

 

I want to bond two licensed wifi links together where each is now giving 500 mbps, I want a 1 gig link.

What do  you recommend using and how?

    Hi malamaka,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

    I want to bond two licensed wifi links together where each is now giving 500 mbps, 

    You mentioned "wifi links" -  there is no option to bond wifi links.  It could be that you are referring to bond ethernet links on managed switches.  

     

    I recommend you the M4300 series switches.  For more information, kindly access the link below:

    Assuming both wireless bridges have standard Ethernet interfaces, you can deploy any kind of switches supporting LAG (Link Aggregation Groups, bonding, ....) - even Smart Managed Plus switches or Smart Managed Pro switches could to the job. Head for dynamic LACP LAG ideally. Be aware you woj't get a full 1 Gb speed between the same systems (MAC addresses).
