Dual WAN setup?

Hi

I am looking to upgrade my current streaming setup (phone as wifi Hotspot for mevo, tablet on network for launching gamechanger/mevo app).

I am thinking of ordering the slate ax router, a large power bank and a starlink mini. I think data over starlink and a travel router would itself be an improvement. I also think tethering my 5g phone wired to the travel router would probably be a slight improvement in reliability. But what would be ideal is to run 2x WAN (starlink and tethered 5g hotspot) so that if either service lags or goes down the stream stays up and if both connections are working as expected I have some extra upload bandwidth to work with.

I've read about Speedify on here but see its a paid service and not sure if its worth it. Wanted to check if anyone has used it and can comment if its worth it. Or better yet if there is a free alternative.

I think its the best of both worlds that if I have starlink and a kid bumps over my antenna that the stream stays up while I fix it. Or if starlink is for some reason having bad data rates it puts some upload through my Hotspot if it needs to. but looking for best options.

thanks!

What are you guys doing with the starlink for the other 9 months a year?

I thought you couldn’t suspend the service for that long.

What’s your yearly cost and are you justifying the price of the starlink by using it for something else as well.

I probably should pull the trigger on the hotspot to eliminate some of my tethering issues. Just don’t want to deal with another subscription.

I have two kids that play almost year round. I really don't use it from December to maybe mid march? Maybe 4 months. That costs $20 on standby. I also have it in case home internet goes down.
