Imagine a scenario where Internet bandwidth availability is a big challenge and only 1 or 2 computers have access to the Internet.
Because in a common scenario computers connect in a LAN to a router which has a broadband connection and get connected to the Internet. All the magic happens inside the router. The world outside the LAN does not know about the number of connected computers and each of these connected computers get a fair share of the available bandwidth to get their job done
But with a limited bandwidth, how can things get done smoothly inside a network? In here, Internet connectivity is provided only by 1 single cellular network plugged in into a suitable router.
This is exactly where ZifiLink comes in with its bandwidth aggregation capability to solve this problem. Commercially available routers that support connectivity via a cellular network typically have support for plugging in just one dongle. ZifiLink internet bonding router comes in 2 variants: 3x and 8x.
3x variant supports connecting 3 dongles while 8x supports up to 8 dongles
ZifiLink has the ability to connect up to 3 or up to 8 dongles from different ISPs and merge them all to give a high speed, highly available, automatically load balancing connection. This connection can be easily shared with all the computers on the LAN just by replacing the existing router or by adding ZifiLink behind the existing router.
How to setup ZifiLink multicellular mobile router with LAN connectivity?
The setup is quite simple – ZifiLink gets connected to a 4/ 8/ 16 port switch. The computers also connect to the same switch. ZifiLink being a router assigns IP addresses to all the computers via its DHCP capability. After this, all the computers get access to the Internet. One can also chain multiple switches if needed. ZifiLink needs to be plugged in with 3 or 8 dongles from cellular network providers of your choice. These networks are combined seamlessly via ZifiLink’s zero configuration feature. And all that is needed is to plug dongles into ZifiLink USB ports.
This feature is particularly suited for places where there are challenges in Internet connectivity – in the heart of cities or towns or just about anywhere.
In the above Video, you can see how ZifiLink internet bonding device gives high-speed LAN connectivity.
