dual wan

How does one take advantage of having two ISPs with two routers and one computer? Windows seems to want to only use one internet connection at a time, even when it's slow and the other connection has nothing going though it.

thats right, you can only use one connection at a time, you cant use both together, im not completely sure why, but you just cant .

i've seen routers that could accept duel wan connections and claimed to utilize both connections.

no clue if they actually work though.

I've not played around with it that much but it is possible to bridge two WAN connections.

And routers with two WAN ports? Do you have a link?

 

[12340987]

it's called load balancing, but I'd like to be able to do it without a special server or router.

There was a thread about this a while back... someone said that all you had to do was go into the connection settings and enable 'teaming'... and then it would use both connections.

I searched shrotly after responding here and found a couple duel wan routers, but they all seemed to be fairly high end ones... Not just your typical "linksys" or some brand like that.

You would have to have a router that would "route" the info correctly. I had a topic like this a while back and everyone thought I was a moron. I would like to think that it would be faster than the regular crap.

Teaming looks to be what I'm looking for, but seems to require proprietary software or hardware.
