network Two network cards problem

[MaTy]

Hello,

I have question about route table. Can I route, lets say app Discord to go through network card #1 and rest of apps through network card #2?

Thank you for responds and sorry for my bad english.

Because I need to use two Networks. One is for stability (gaming) and second for basics, like youtube videos, watching movies online..

Sounds overcomplicated. Just get one good network card or a better internet connection.

If the app itself gives you a choice of network then yes. If not then it wouldn't be a simple process to force it to.

 

For what reason do you want to? It's unlikely you're saturating your NIC's bandwidth. That and if everything is on the same network then this arrangement really wouldn't do anything for you.

Do you have 2 ISP connections?

As long as you're not running into a bandwith limit, you won't gain anything. Totally not worth the hassle.

#1 I cant get better connection....

#2 Yes, I have two ISPs @Windows7ge

@Senzelian My problem is that one provider has 60mbps down/up but its not stable... I can be only one on network and its still laggy. Thats why I want second network for my gaming, its only 10/5

[MaTy]

In that case you might be able to limit certain applications to certain networks using the Windows Firewall.

If you understand me guys

[MaTy]

@SenzelianHow can I do that? 

[MaTy]

I am not an expert can you navigate me? @Senzelian

ACL? Network Rules? Windows Firewall? You'd have to go an indirect route to force a particular application to use a separate network if the app doesn't support configuring this.

 

The easy/cheat way would be to either put it in a VM and tell it the 2nd network is the only available network or even setup a small second PC and connect it to the second ISP.

Nope, haven't done that myself. I know that the option exists in Windows 10 within the extended options of the Windows 10 Firewall.

Click around a little in the Firewall options and you should be able to find it or try to find the answer on Google.

@Windows7ge #1 60/15 not stable

#2 10/5 Stable

Have you talked to your ISP about the unstable connection? Did they just look at you and say it was normal?

[MaTy]

@Windows7ge They just cant repair that... Beacuse its about that, they are overloading (I dont know how to say that, I cant realy well english)

I only have a basic understanding on how to configure ACL's on Cisco routers even then only on a client basis not application basis. Using Windows Firewall for this is something I've never done at all. You'll have to ask Google.

So they thinned out their bandwidth too much and now their infrastructure can't keep up with the demand. Can you outright switch ISPs? I'd want something more consistent and not cob-job my own network to compensate for their lack of reliability.

[MaTy]

@Windows7ge I am not that good in english. You are asking if I can switch ISPS? and I dont understand second sentence
