    I have my laptop pluged in to the internet via a ethernet port which runs though my cable TV, I also can get free wireless internet in my appartment complex,

    Is there any way of using both network connections at once to make my net even faster?

    Thanks

    In theory you can able to create a bridge. That means ,once the connection is maxed out , it would use the free wifi connection . i.e , lets say you're on 1Mbps Internet and you get Free 512Kbps 'WiFi' connection. You would not get 1.5Mbps connection , instead you would get 1x1Mbps and 1x512Kbps connection. I am not sure how its done in Windows
