Description:

  • Two ISPs provide redundant internet connectivity.
  • The MikroTik router manages traffic between the internet connections and devices within the local network.
  • HP ElitDesk PC, OrangePi SBC, Samsung TV, and LG TV connect to the MikroTik router, forming a local network.

Additional Notes:

  • The MikroTik router configured for load balancing across the two internet connections for increased reliability and bandwidth.
  • The OrangePi SBC serve various purposes, such as hosting a media center server, web, db server.
