Utilizing 2 Ethernet connections

[JohnDongus]

I have 2 active 200mbps lines in my shop and I have been wanting to find a way to utilize them at the same time. From what I've read it's disabled in windows 10. Hardware or software solutions would be fine.

How do you want to use them? You can use multi nics in windows 10 just fine, you just need a way to use i.t

 

You normally want this done on your router level. You can have fail over, difference connections for programs, and bonding.

Then you want bonding, look at the linus tech video on it.

Any router that can run OpenWRT firmware and has vlan support on the switch (so you can use one of the LAN ports as an extra WAN port) should be able to do it, although you are probably talking a high-end router to be sure it can handle the speed.

Or you could go all-out and use a low-end PC running pfSense which is the only way I have done it personally.

and you have to buy their service.

 

There are other multi wan solutions like above, but they won't allow a single app to have more speed.

Single thread no, but any multi-threaded download can.  Although frustratingly AFAIK all game download services still use single-threaded downloads.  But it would at least stop them saturating the network.
