This invention relates to providing a bonded broadband router for customer premises. The invention provides an apparatus and method for receiving packets from a local area network and sending them over an aggregated link comprising one or more communication links. The local area network has a default router and devices in the local area network have previously been configured to communicate with said default router using a network address associated with said default router. The bonding router is arranged to obtain the network address of said default router and is arranged to regularly transmit a message to devices within said local area network to cause said devices to associate the network address of the default router with the link layer address of the bonding router such that data sent by said devices containing the network address of the default router will instead be directed to the bonding router. |
