I am assuming the two links are from different ISPs.

You need a router with at least three interface (one for your LAN, one for each of your WAN connections). Cisco has a feature called Optimized Edge Routing, which lets the router test each path and then choose the one with the best performance. So it will automatically switch if one path goes down. Other manufacturers have similar features.

You don't "bond" the two links, because that will cause out of order packets and reduce your performance. You will use one or the other link, depending on the performance of each.

I am assuming the two links are from different ISPs.
