I think it'd be a better presentation to use more prose and fewer bullet points - I'm more interested in the human experience than the machine experience here!
> 1. Downgraded Xfinity from $90/mo to a basic $50/mo plan (still usable speeds, just lower tier)
> 2. Added AT&T Fiber as a second line at $55/mo (different infrastructure = different failure modes)
> 3. Bonded both connections using WireGuard VPN and OpenWRT routing
Edit:
Another lie detected: ATT isn't accepting new customers on DSL, and is in fact yanking service for existing customers in many areas. So there's zero chance that OP signed up for ATT copper internet within the last year or so.
It seems incredulous that this didn’t take dozens of back and forth prompts and fixes. It was able to one-shot deploying a digital ocean droplet and configure wireguard?

Yes, that part was pretty easy - but the whole thing wasn't one shot. The parts I struggled with were: - getting automated SSH installed on the $130 router, once you have that the LLM can drive things - during security hardening, I got fully locked out and had to recreate a new VM. But it was able to automatically recreate everything in a few minutes.
I am assuming all the missing steps is just the information you censored.
you could use an azure VDI machine as a cloud endpoint, i believe those ips are flagged correctly. It’s not this cheap though.
I just bought a Synology RT2600 router at the time and plugged each provider in then set it to load balanced.
Reliability and speeds were great. Possibly not as optimised as this perf wise but a lot easier to setup.
I did run into this and claude implemented a work-around (see step 8) to route some traffic through the normal exit IP for those special use cases. So far I've only run into this problem with 3 services (Ring, Blink, and Paychex). Surprisingly none of the streaming services seem to care (Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV).
But it does mean that the user can build a solution that they don’t understand well enough to maintain.
