To elaborate:

1. Set up some N number of networked IoT devices. Each device simply forwards packets between the router and my main computer, let's say a laptop.
2. Connect all N devices to a local WiFi network where bandwidth and throttling is a frustration. I.e. a University network, library network, etc.
3. Configure my main computer to share its network requests between each of the N devices, such that each devices handles 1/N of main computer's network traffic.
4. Each device simply acts as a bridge between the router and my main computer; the router sees N devices all making network requests and tries to balance accordingly
5. My main computer is no longer throttled and I can enjoy my connection.

I have a couple gaps in knowledge here (like commonly used load balancing algorithms) and I'm making some reasonable assumptions (like routers trying to evenly balance bandwidth between devices) but I don't see why this shouldn't be possible. Has anyone done anything like this? Are there common pitfalls I might fall into?

Thanks.
