I’m looking back at that discussion from a year ago and trying a new approach. The setup involves a motherboard with two Ethernet ports, each linked to different routers from separate ISPs, using distinct upstream connections. One port uses fiber with limited speed—good for gaming but poor for uploads or streaming. The other uses copper-twin cable with higher bandwidth. The question is whether I can control apps like OBS, Steam, or browsers to run on the copper connection while using the fiber link for games. In theory, it seems feasible?
