Load balancing on bridges wifi

1

I have a local network (192.168.0.0/24) of which two buildings are connected by means of a pair of 5ghz wifi antennas that act as a bridge (bridged). In building 1 I have a file server with gigabit connection and the antennas are ubiquiti m5 5ghz with connection at 100mbps.

Something like this:

               |-----antena )))(((( antena-----|
  switch GbE Edificio1                      switch FE Edificio2
     |         |-----antena )))(((( antena-----|       |
  Servidor                                           PC's

My query is this: Is there any way to implement some type of load balancing if I put another pair of antennas? Both buildings must necessarily be in the same network.

Thank you very much for your attention, I wish you happy holidays and the best new year.

Better late than never ...

There is a standard to do what you want. Being a standard, it is not necessary that the switches are from the same provider, only that they are manageable: Search in the switches how to configure LACP , is quite common in corporate switches. Cisco calls it "EtherChannel", for example.

Consider that each link is like the equivalent of a cable between switches. You must then configure both switches to take the two ports (one for each radio link) that connect one switch to the other as if they were just one, which is called Port trunking (or link aggregation , link bundling , Ethernet / network / NIC bonding or NIC teaming ).

I hope it's still useful.
