what is intel adapter teaming?

[matto97]

From what i guess its 2 network things working as 1 right?

and if so can i use wifi and team it with the ethernet and what benefits would i get?

[bcredeur97]

I think this is a server thing... 

 

You most likely cant get it to work on a consumer OS (Except maybe linux)

 

 

But pointless to team wifi and ethernet as it is. Most people don't need anything more than gigabit ethernet, adding more connections wouldn't make you internet faster if you arent even close to filling up gigabit ethernet's maximum bandwidth.

Short answer - Teaming is where 2 COMPATIBLE Ethernet ports can "team together" and create a faster connection (2 x 1gbit = 1 x 2gbit connection)
I have never heard of it being used with wifi

i think its a private virtual network , not sure

As well as redundancy.

 

Yeah I haven't heard of it for Wireless NICs.

yeah of course, very rough answer

Seems Redundant

No its not lol.

 

Teaming NICs means if i have 2 gigabit ports in my PC i can team them, this effectively gives me 2gbps, but not fully. the switch has to support it as well and is only useful if the data being transferred over the teamed NICs is going to more than one machine as transferring one 5GB file over the NICs to one high speed server will not transfer at 2gbps. Its mostly for redundancy OR if there are many people working off of one server.

Well i sync large files between my computers daily and have a small home server for media and crap and my ethernet cable to my main computer doesn't have any clips cause they broke off like a year ago and im to lazy to get a new cable, so redundancy sounds good lol

This won't help you then. LACP doesn't actually do any fragmentation or anything like that. All it is doing is combining symmetrical links into a bundle. No one connection can actually use more than the maximum bandwidth supported by a single link in the bundle. So if you had 2x1Gbps, this means the maximum transfer rate for a single connection would still be 1Gbps. The remaining 1Gbps of connectivity would be available for other connections.

 

The only way this could possibly be of use for you is between your home server and your switch.

Cant connect the Wifi with the Ethernet any way

I second kosmic and Wombo!!!
