Openwrt is Linux.

The thing that you are asking for: Openwrt does not do it.

To the extent that Openwrt does it; Debian does it just as well.
Which is to say, badly.

That's not what you asked at the beginning.

You asked if it was possible to gang together several wireless
networks from disparate ISPs in order to get one super-fast
connection. That is not possible, for the reasons we have now
gone into in depth.

If what you want is multiple ISP connections operating
simultaneously, with different sessions using different
connections, so that no individual session will use more than
one ISP but the aggregate bandwidth is used, that is relatively
easy.

So, to improve the quality of discussion in future:

always describe your actual problem, not a contrived example.
