Hi everyone. I was wondering if it would be possible to connect to two wireless connections at the same time. I wanted to work on one connection and download files on the other. Is there a program that will enable me to do this?
-
Unfortunately no. There can only be one connection. Your computer will automatically choose one connection and use it.
-
if you have two wireless adapters, then what you can do to make this happen (only if you have virtual machines), is to use a virtual machine, have it use the unused wireless card and download the files from that virtual machine, and work on your main computer.
-
What I also know is, if you have a LAN and a WAN, you cannot use the internet connection from both at the same time, the system will automatically use the WAN for the connection
correct me if i'm wrong -
if i'm not mistaken, you can set the order in which windows access network connections
-
This cannot be done TCP/IP settings will not allow it, remember wifi is like a radio and in the same way a radio cannot tune into 2 stations at the same time wifi has the same limitation.
The best you can look for is load balancing but that is complicated (synchronization) and not worth it for a home user. -
well i did say that it would have been possible if he has two (2) wireless adapters, not one.
Connect to Two Wireless Connections, AT THE SAME TIME!
