Is connection sharing possible?

[iDeJayDzn]

I'm not talking about Bridging with this post; basic DNLA and information transfer.

 

Nor am i talking about creating a wifi hotspot from my pc from an ethernet connection.

 

I'm talking about an ethernet and wifi connection inputting a connection to one machine and the machine sharing the download/upload speed.

 

 

 

The reason im asking this is because my connection caps out at 54 down, 3 up.

Ethernet stops at around 30.

Wifi reaches 54.

 

However;

My wifi signal drops out every now and again causing either random lag or ping spikes and not being able to download anything or watch videos until my wifi adapter picks it up again.

The ethernet however i have no idea what has happened too it. I've looked at every setting i can think of to sort it out. The settings is on Full speed 1Gbps. So thats not the issue before anyone comments that.

 

I just need/want a shared connection so that if my wifi drops, my ethernet can pick up the connection and i can try to have a consistant 54 down connection instead of it dropping every now and again.

 

If its possible, please explain to me how. I will love you forever.

yes u can op

 

plug both in

connect to your hotspot

bam

It selects one or the other. It doesnt share the connection. It priorities the ethernet which then limits me to 30 down. I've already thought about that.

which version or windows m8

So are you talking about bonding or load balancing the two connections?

Basically yeah. I just need my wifi to be the work horse but for my ethernet to kick in data if my wifi drops, therefore not dropping any speed (To some extent, if its possible)

are you sure

it works for me

You probably recieve the same speed from wifi and ethernet. I'm not talking about one taking over if one completely dies. I'm talking about the actual connection speed being pulled from both devices to combine together to try to keep the same speed. Specifically because my ethernet wont go other 30 or so. Wifi i dont know because my connection caps out at 54.

OK, so what you are talking about is using your ethernet connection as a failover connecition.  Since Windows, by default, configures the Ethernet Interface to be the priority connection.  

 

Here are the steps to change the priority of your wireless connection.

 

     1 - Click Start and, in the search field, type View network connections.

     2 - Press the ALT key, click Advanced Options and then click Advanced Settings...

     3 - Select Local Area Connection and click the green arrows to give priority to the desired connection.

     4 - After organizing the network connections available according to your preferences, click OK.

     5 - The computer will now follow an order of priority when detecting available connections.

 

Hope this help, let me know if not.

Done this multiple times. After a while my PC either puts it back to default or on reboot it goes back to default. Which is why i ended up just disabling the ethernet fully. Otherwise i just got capped to 30 instead of 54. My only issue is that now my wifi is dropping every now and again.
