Hi all,
Is there any software available for windows that allows for the use of 2 unmatched network adapters to improve bandwidth?
Ill explain my current setup:
Last year virgin media upgraded my broadband and gave me a superhub
Very few devices in my house could use the 5ghz range so i connected my old router to the superhub as an accesspoint to continue to supply the 2.4ghz devices letting my main PC benefit from the better speeds I could get on the 5ghz
So now I have 2 wifi networks.
If im wired to the Hub I can get almost 100meg when making a newsgroup download.
The 5ghz tops out about 75meg and the 2.4ghz tops out about 55
Because newsgroup download is multi connection I can send some bandwidth through each wifi network (Im using 2 wifi nics) And get my wifi throughput back to almost 100meg, very pleasing to eliminate the wifi bottleneck.
Though the only way I could achive this is to use a script that changes the interface metric of each wifi nic depending on the percent of utilization.
I was wondering if there is a more elegant solution to this?
Having a command prompt churning away in the background plays havok with my OCD, but the only other solutions I have seen are based at the driver level and require matching appropriate nics.
