There are routers from other companies, such as Ubiquiti, which can connect to multiple internet sources and use them both to feed one local network. And, there are LTE modems which can use the LTE connection as a failover in case the primary ISP connection goes down.

I plan using this with multiple 4G modems to achive WAN bonding, from the help page I can see that the RBK852 supports this function but the modem must also support Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

So is it possible to use multiple 4G Modems that have LACP support to use the WAN Aggregation?
If so can somone tell me if the NETGEAR LM1200 has LACP support (I can't find a reference anywhere) and if not some recommendations on brands that manufacture modems with this support

Thank you in advance
