One last note, I forgot to mention that your Ethernet Adapters wireless or wired will have different LAN ip addresses, and different gateway addresses. Just ignore the warning and save the settings.
Configuration for Windows 7, Should work on later versions. You need two Internet or more Connections. Wireless or Wired. Each Adapter needs to have the gateway set properly for each Internet Connection. There are two places to enter the metric. If the Default Gateways: is empty, add the Gateway and set the metric to 15 in there as well. Save all that. Now do the same thing for the second Internet Connection, again the gateway will be different, and make sure you have the metric set to 15 on this adapter as well in both places.
If you try this with DHCP, my Windows 7 computer would work for a short period, and then the Gateway metric would get removed. The reason this works is because you have set the metrics to 15, windows will use the least busy network card because they both have the same metric.
Usually a network interface card have different metrics, and windows can choose the card with the best metric. Method 1 does work, with some caveats: What it does work: 1. If you start a download using Web Browser , or most any application that downloads files. The first download will start on the first connection.
If you open another connection and download another file, the second download will be downloaded using the second internet connection. What does not work: If you run a speed test you will only get the connection speed of one of the adapters, not both. However, this is quite useful if you download multiple files.
Opening multiple applications web browsers, FTP, Torrent clients etc. It was only choosing one connection. Your email address will not be published. Skip to content Last evening a colleague asked if it was possible to combine two Internet connections to increase overall download speed? For example, the following actions can make use of the combine Internet connection: Torrent clients to download movies, software etc.
Web browsers your surfing speed will increase YouTube no more buffering! Download Managers speedier downloads Total data usage will be according to the individual connection usage. A new box will open. Click on Advance button Another box will come up.
Uncheck Automatic Metric Type value 15 in the box labelled Interface metric. You will have the combined the power of all your Internet connections! Make sure that the IP address assigned to load balancing router is different from the default gateway address of the WAN connections.
The default IP of router is He studied graphic design at Pikes Peak Community College. The wikiHow Tech Team also followed the article's instructions and verified that they work. This article has been viewed , times. This wikiHow teaches you how to combine two or more Internet networks into one main network. Speedify is an app that allows you to combine two internet connections on all your devices, and acts as a VPN. A free Speedify account allows you to use up to 5GB of data per month.
Connect to your primary wired or wireless internet connection. Connect to your secondary internet connection using a USB wireless or Ethernet adapter. Click Windows , or Mac or download Speedify from your mobile device app store. Click the "SpeedifyInstaller" file to install Speedify. Click or tap the Speedify icon to open Speedify. Click or tap Continue. Cick or tap Agree and Continue. Tap the setup buttons on the screen, then tap Allow mobile only.

If you are using a wired connection, connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to an open LAN port on your modem or router. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, click the Wi-Fi icon the icon with three arching lines on the right side in the menu bar on Mac, or taskbar on Windows.
Then select your Wi-Fi network and enter your wireless passkey. Connect a secondary internet connection. If you are connecting a wired and wireless connection, you can easily do so by connecting to your Wi-Fi network and then connecting to your computer using an Ethernet port on your computer.
However, if you are connecting two wired or two wireless connections, or your computer doesn't have an Ethernet port, you will likely need to purchase a USB Ethernet adapter to connect a second Ethernet cable or a wireless USB adapter to connect to a second Wi-Fi connection.
If you are using a Mac, you will need to install additional drivers to be able to use a wireless USB adapter.
You will not be able to use a USB ethernet adapter. You can use any web browser on PC or Mac. Click Windows or Mac. If you are a Windows user, click Windows to download the Windows version of Speedify. If you are a Mac user, click Mac to download the Mac version of Speedify.
Speedify requires Windows 7 or later, or MacOS Double-click the install file. After Speedify is done downloading, click " SpeedifyInstaller. By default, you can find your downloaded files in your "Downloads" folder, or within your web browser. This installs Speedify. Open Speedify. After you install Speedify, the app will open automatically. If you need to open Speedify, click the Windows Start menu in the lower-left corner on Windows, or the icon that resembles a magnifying glass in the upper-right corner on Mac.
Type speedify , and then click the Speedify app. It has a blue icon with an "S". Click Continue. It's the green button at the bottom of the screen. Click Agree and Continue. It's the green button in the center of the page. This indicates that you agree to the privacy terms.
Click the toggle switch next to Speedify. Once Speedify opens, both your connections will be listed at the top. If the toggle switch next to Speedify is green, both networks are bonding. Two connections to the internet. Two should be better than one, right? One common use for dual-WAN routers is to provide redundancy. When two internet connections are used, particularly if they are from different providers, either one can go down and the other continues to work.
In other words, to the computers on the LAN-side of the router, the internet will just keep on working. This may be useful if the cost of the second connection is based on data transferred, or if the second connection is significantly slower than the primary. Load leveling is a technique used by the router to distribute your internet traffic as equally as it can across both connections.
One perhaps over-simplified approach is to simply alternate connections between the two: each time a computer on your LAN requests a data connection to an internet resource that data connection is made using one of the two available internet connections.
The next request uses the other. That way, by simply alternating back-and-forth which internet connection is used to fulfill connection requests, the load is distributed roughly equally across the two internet connections. Typically, that means things happen faster.
For example, a web page that has two pictures on it might download one picture on one of the internet connections and the other picture on the other. That way, the two can be downloaded in parallel — twice as fast as if they both had to be downloaded using the same connection. Unfortunately, load leveling cannot make all types of downloads faster.
A logical connection from a computer to a server can happen on only one physical connection. As we saw, a dual WAN router may elect to distribute those across either of the physical internet connections that it has. By design, the bittorrent protocol uses multiple internet connections to download and upload files. A properly configured dual WAN router could significantly improve bittorrent performance by spreading the load over both internet connections.

You can use policy-based routing, to say send HTTP out one connection, mail out another connection, P2P traffic to one connection, etc. Here most people pray for speeds greater then the K broadband average.
What has tecnology done to civilisation? If you had 2 connection, can you assign each each software or program for each of the connection? And the same is true of available content and applications.
Now speeds are making such things possible. IE on one, Firefox on the other: no, no way that I can think of. Well… it can be done and others have mentioned the load-balancing firewall. I just looked on-line and it seems that there are now load balancing routers that appear affordable. I was thinking of buying two services DSL which offers me 1.
