Hello, I have two internet connections entering the house and two Ethernet ports on my PC. I've connected my PC to both networks and configured OBS to connect to network B's IP address. My goal is for Windows and other systems to use network A, while OBS should connect to network B. This is because network A (Starlink) is slow for live streaming, whereas network B (ADSL) works well for streaming. I'm unsure how to tell Windows to prefer network A specifically. Starlink offers much faster download speeds than my ADSL connection, which is why I want everything else—like the web browser and Steam—to use it. I've tried adjusting the network adapter settings in the control panel, assigning network A as priority 1 and B as 2, but that didn't seem to help. If you know how to achieve this setup, please let me know. Thanks!

Link the streaming device to the ADSL line and attach the content device to Starlink.

In Obs, navigate to Advanced settings, then Bind to IP. Change the default to your chosen interface. The image shown is from version 27.1.3 and may vary in later releases. If this doesn't function, consider configuring Windows Firewall or using a blocking tool for the Starlink connection.
