New router combines your home and mobile networks into one faster pipe

A new cloud-connected router using the same type of multipath technology that Apple put in the iPhone might solve your bandwidth problem.

The idea of aggregating mobile and wired signals in the home is an old one. But it certainly hasn't become commonplace, and Multipath Networks takes advantage of the new Multipath TCP protocol that's used in the iPhone to let Siri switch between Wi-Fi, 3G, and LTE quickly and seamlessly. One caveat: The router requires a $5-per-month cloud service, potentially introducing latency or privacy and security concerns.
