It's a router that combine 2 different internet sources for a faster and more reliable connection...
What do you think ??

It could work if their server is acting like some virtual router and outside servers see it as end point.
If that is the case,this colud be also used for bonding of upload direction and could allow everyone to have servr in the house.

As far as I know your connection to the server sits on one single socket i.e. a single pipeline.
If the server closes your socket i.e. kicks you then it does not matter if at the other end you are using several networks / methods of internet communication at the same time.
This isn't something new, most PCs today come with a built in 2nd network capability on the MB. Even if you have a 2nd network connection at home you will still be connecting only with one of them to the IL2server.

There's another element to this.
2 internet connections = 2 different source IP's
Most FW's reject traffic coming from 2 IP addresses for the same TCP/IP session as it resembles a spoofing attack.
Basically this means that you build the TCP connection with 1 source IP of internet connection #1. Then, during the session, if your router sends packets over internet connection #2 with a different source IP (otherwise this can't be routed), the FW will see this and reject that package thinking someone is trying to highjack your session to gain info or do malicious acts.
I wouldn't do it. UPgrading your main internet line seems like the better choice.
