Posted February 27, 2014 Hey, I can currently connect to two internet connections, and each one has 100 up 100 down. Is there a way to merge them for a total of 200 up 200 down? The closest I have come is with the program called Octopus+ but it doesn't have a free trail. OS: Windows 8 Is there any way I can set this up? Thanks Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions.

Posted February 27, 2014 I think there was a post on this before. If I remember, someone said your computer will only accept a connection from one of the internet connections. Also, if both of these connections are from the same ISP, you still won't be able to go over what your internet speed is.

Posted February 27, 2014 RAID the Internet......you been in my dreams bro.One of the issues is getting both connections to sync together. I don't know if it is possible for consumers, I think some scientist's did something like this in a test, but that was under optimal conditions, not real world conditions.

Posted February 27, 2014 Generally business grade routers will be able to bond them in this way or for fail-over purposes. Not sure if windows 8 could do it itself though.

Thanks If you're willing to spend a small chunk of change, TP-Link makes an inexpensive router that can load-balance up to 4 connections. I remember watching a youtube review of it awhile back, and he mentioned it worked well. The reviewer may have even been Barnacules Nerdgasm.

Posted February 27, 2014 Technically you can do this pending the data your are download is separate packets, you are not truly speeding it up to 200 down but making multiple connections that would add up to 200. There are appliances out there that will do this, go check out Baranucles channel he is using one and had a review on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 27, 2014 Author Temporarily I have started to use a load balancer called "Connectify". I will check out barnacules video now. EDIT: I saw barnacules video but I really don't want to buy anything to speed up my connection. I really don't need more than 100/100. Was just trying to speed it up for fun. I'll just stick with Connectify until my trail runs out. Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Posted February 27, 2014 Check your network adapter configuration page (teaming tab) to see if they support 802.3ad link aggregation. (most Intel NICs do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(most Intel NICs do) That's if the devices you're connecting to support it, which residential WAN links will not, then sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
