Keep the IP, gain the bandwidth!

I have a RV042 with a DSL (static IP) and a cable connection (Dynamic).  How do I get the extra bandwidth from the cable and still keep the static IP of the DSL.  When I have the router set on WAN1 (DSL), I get buffering.  When I set the router on WAN2, I lose the static IP and therefore, the stream.  When I have the router set on Load Balance, it switches the IP back and forth between the static DSL and the Dynamic cable.  Any ideas?

There isn't a good solution here. The best you are going to be able  to do is NAT with a route-map in order to have it load balance between  the two links and use the appropiate IP, but it sounds like you should  call your cable provider and get a static IP from them as well or see if you can get a faster DSL connection.

For information on using NAT with two ISPs (like you are doing) you can check out this document:
