It would be straightforward to run a script on the RPi to select the link with the fastest/best Internet link. Keep in mind, throughput is going to be limited by the RPi's USB bus. I found the RPi could pass about 10 Mbps, but couldn't keep up with faster rates. One other possibility would be a wifi router capable of running OpenWRT. You'll probably get better data rates. | |
