Combine 2 LAN connections

Postby johnsk » Oct 15 04 4:59 am

Hi there, so here's my situation:

I have 2 WiFi networks - one 192kbit/s and the other 256kbit/s - I would like to use them both at the same time - thus 192+256kbit/s = 448kbit/s. Is it possible to bridge these 2 connections? If yes, what sw would allow me to do this? Thanx a lot for all replies.

john

ps: one connection is connected to my PCI LAN card and the other is connected to a WiFi Router via PCI WiFi card

Well, normally you cannot use both connections at the same time to get the combined throughput. However, there are certain approaches that can make your bandwidth usage better:
- Alter the routing table and re-route some of you traffic through the non-default gateway - say, many of the clients use cnn.com - just create a route that will be used for CNN.COM traffic
- Use proxies in WIngate - wingate has an ability to re-route proxied connections.
