Hi there,
I've been filming live sports and usually use a Netgear Nighthawk over Ethernet (on the Telstra (Australian telco) 4g network). However, the last few weeks it's been unreliable and cutting out up to 2/3 times a half!
I've lowered the bandwidth as low as I can afford (down to 720 2.5mpbs) and it's still not 100% reliable.
So, I'm looking at a solution where I plug my mobile phone (which is on the Optus 4g network) in over USB and tether that to my device as a 'backup' internet connection.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible to have two connections on the 1 laptop, so if one dies, the stream will carry on?
Thanks!

Odds are, you have a backup internet connection in your pocket. On your phone or 4G/LTE equipped tablet, you already have an internet connection that's To enable it, open Settings, select the Personal Hotspot option near the a USB cellular dongle or want to share your wired Ethernet connection.

Hi there. Yes, I have both my phone (usb) tethered, and nighthawk connected - windows shows me 2 connections in the task-bar - but when I disconnect one, the stream dies. It doesn't automatically use the other connection. any ideas?

I'm not an expert on networking by any means, so I don't know whether Windows is capable of maintaining a connection when switching between adapters. For a redundant setup, I think you need to look in to 'connection bonding' which some routers support. That way you can connect the router to a fibre connection and a 4G connection and let the router handle the failover from one to the other. I've done a crash-test of this at work - unplugging the fibre cable in the middle of a vMix call - and the incoming call & outgoing stream connections weren't dropped.

I use Speedify to combine multiple connections, you can select priority's, and have an eye on the amount of data. Worked for me so far!

Do you have delays on connections? I use at least 6 vmix calls in my Q&A and I'm curios how works with Speedify... !?

I use Speedify with 2-3 LTE USB modems and 100% reliability.
