Does the Programmable WSN Gateway allow for mutliple external internet connections?

Hello!  I am new to this forum, so I apologize in advance if this question seems a little elementary.

 

Now, with the obligatory newbie apology out of the way.... lol  Smiley Very Happy  I'm probably not wording the following question right, so please bear with me!  

 

I would like to know if the WSN Gateway - or any other NI product - has the ability to connect to more than one external internet connection at a time.  For whatever reason, our idiot ISP company can't seem to provide us a stable connection no matter what they try, and the way their competition is talking, I'm not sure they can, either.  So what we'd like to do is to have more than one internet connection come into our office, connect to some piece of equipment (about which I am now asking), and then go on to our network in such a way that if one internet connection craps out, the other one is still there, and if both connections are available and working properly, then the bandwidth from both connections is being used by our network.

 

If anyone here knows if the WSN Gateway will do this, I'd appreciate it if you could respond to this post.  If not, maybe you know of another piece of NI equipment that does?

 

Thanks in advance for reading this question, and for any response you might have!

Hi Video Testimonial Services,

 

No, we do not have products that will accomplish what you're asking for.  These gateways are meant to provide communication with our wireless sensor nodes, as opposed to routing internet traffic.
