Not using that specifically but I have to load balance my internet between starlink and 4g due to the area I live in where the only other option is suffer with 1.5 DSL. Even what I’m doing now is only mostly ok but I’m surrounded by trees.

Due to the restrictions of a lot of providers for mobile data, I use the 5g store with Verizon network, and had to use one of their routers, went with a peplink as at the time, it was the cheapest option.

Peplink does a pretty good job of load balancing between the different connections but i wouldnt use them unless you really have to.

You could use pfsense or opensense to load balance between two connections if thats what your after.
