ICS. (internet connection sharing)

 

Start->Run->ncpa.cpl

 

Select one, click "bridge".

 

You'll never be able to use one for dedicated upload and one for dedicated download, though.. that's not how it works.

Hey guys. I was trying to use 2 usb wireless cards in the same machine, one for uploading and one for downloading. I was wondering if this is more efficient than only one wireless card? :) If this is possible then please tell me how. (More efficient as in more ping in games like cs:go) My machine is a windows 8.1 OS

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

I've used two wireless adapters before, one internal (laptop) and one USB external, bridged them together and connected them to two separate mobile hotspots on phones to try and play League in class.

 

Interestingly, it actually worked quite well.
