    We can and have. It’s Multi-Link Operation (MLO) which was part of WiFi 7 standards. Here’s how it works.

    My router has it and it is indeed quite fast, but it’s new technology. There are currently very few client devices that support MLO.

        In case you’re wondering about the downvotes, using any search index verbification other than “Google” demonstrates greater techno-activism than pointing out that DDG uses the Bing API. Your effort has been noted, however, and will be evaluated at the next summit.

          The purposeful insinuation of a falsehood was enough to get people to admit that DDG is just Bing with a hat on while dogpiling on the assumed “mistake.” I’ll take it.

            Mmm, understood. Antiheroics are especially well-regarded. I’ll be sure this is accurately reflected in the report.

              Make sure to note I’m really tall so I get preferential treatment due to their unconscious biases

      If you want to use multiple internet connections and combine their speed, that’s possible. Dunno how though and I guess to work best it would need a server somewhere else like a VPN to manage the packets coming from different ips

        Software defined wan (SDWAN) is the industry term for bundling multiple independent internet connections to maximise bandwidth.

            The main ones I hear are software defined WAN. Which means you can do per application internet steering.

            Software defined LAN is more about authorising specific applications to access the corporate lan.

            Basically it means to not have a special designed hardware for task X but to do much of it in software which gives you more flexibility. And also let’s you configure and use X a bit more flexible.

            E.g. software defined networking: If you run several virtual machines on a server, you may define the whole network between them virtually in software instead of doing it on the hardware side. Sure, you still need an ethernet card in your server to connect it to other servers and the internet, but all load balancing, switches, firewalls, VLANs, etc. between the virtual machines (or containers) on your server are virtualized in software - or maybe eben between servers.

            Same goes for e.g. Software Defined Radio. In the early days you had dedicated hardware to control the mobile network and the antennas and such. Today you “just” have the antenna and a transceiver that is capable of producing and receiving a wide range of signals and modulations. All encoding, decoding and interpretation the signals is done in software. If your hardware is capable enough, the upgrade from e.g. 4G to 5G may only be a software update for all base stations.
