Can this crazy thing be done?

Hi, si i've been wondering this for years...
I have 2 connections at home and I can connect 1 via wireless and the other wired. Now, i know they can't add up to increase the speed. But can I use it for someting like when im Downloading someting with 1 connection, use the other for anything else?
Is there any Software that can get this done?

 

While ago, I was setting up a test server, and Kerio Connect could do that.. but using other PC as a gateway, it's not so good option. Then I tried to find something similar on Linux, but it was way more complicated.. but I will be watching this thread if anything comes up

 

Short answer No. Can't be down even though it sounds good on paper not possible. Your only using one connection to the internet either way you look at it. Only way to really see a increase download is to have either Fiber or cable (but you share the bandwidth), what your asking currently can't be done on a single ISP or subscriber based. You will have to have two independent internet connection to do what your asking to do and then having such connections would cost you twice what your paying for as your internet provider would make you pay a premium for having two broad band connections. Even if your downloading two different parts of the same file a single connection is a single connection no matter how you look at it. Worse doing that would slow down your internet connection and more then lightly cause one connection to slow another to a crawl. So unless you have two independent connection or Fiber - I would say for the time being do one thing at a time.

 

The OP already said he knows that this won't increase his WAN speed.

OP: in your router settings, you can port forward certain applications to direct their traffic to either the WiFi adapter or Ethernet adapter.

 

These are 2 Different connections, not the same being used wired and wireless.

 

You have to different pipes. The connection of the PC's are your LAN and limited only by your home hardware. The router they plug into is connected to your WAN. The WAN bandwidth (the internet connection) is bandwidth limited no matter what the connection in your LAN.................

 

I didn't understand...
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
I have 2 different connections, 2 different Internet Lines, one that is on the room upstairs and our, both are of the same family (Mine) and i was wondering if using 1 connection with 1 program and the other connection for the others was possible.

 

Are you looking for something like this:
Octopus+ - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

Hardware wise I think that dual wan routers which have load balancing do this as well.

 

So let me get this straight now that your telling us more info then you lacked to tell us before. Two independent internet connections for two different areas of the house hold but not using one line but two lines. Sure you can download different files on different connections being as they are separate from one another. If the wireless lets you use their wifi and yours on desktop then you would have two option of download for different files or use one downloading and one for web browsing should work just fine.

 

So you pay, basically, two internet bills each month? If you have one cable coming in from the street, then split into to two lines, it's still one connection.

 

Hmm, actually that's not quite true, at least not for most cable internet providers. What they do is they limit the bandwidth at the modem. So, for example, if you order a higher-bandwidth internet plan from them, all that happens is that a different piece of firmware is uploaded to your modem, which determines the maximum bandwidth the modem will give you. IF you are able to run two modems in parallel (which I am not sure if that's possible; the cable company may or may not allow you to do that), then each of the modems could, in principle, provide access to the same bandwidth, in effect doubling the total bandwidth available.
