Re: Something like Pepwave SpeedFusion

Yes, you can--sort of. If you build two tunnels over the different connections back to your own office, you can bond over the tunnels. No single device would get better bandwidth than one of the links, as the current bonding technologies assign individual flows to one path or the other. Simply put ...

Something like Pepwave SpeedFusion

I'm no Mikrotik pro yet.... but know enofe to be dangerous =) The goal is to auto bond an LTE connection with a Starlink - Pepwave sells there service to do this, but could I do this with a Mikrotik? I'm guessing my office would have to be the hub that it all bonds too before going to the internet. ...

Re: MikroTik LTE Sierra Wireless MC7455

I see there is a BELL firmware.... but clueless if I can update this while installed in the LtAP
You can't AFAIK. You need to do it a Windows machine using a USB-to-miniPCIe adapter.

will an M.2 adapter fit in a LTap Mini?

An EM12 (M.2) is what I would like to try, if not maybe a EP06 (miniPCI)

Or just use a Full size LTap if I'm looking for that extra performance anyways
