Game access via Ethernet link and web browsing or streaming over Wi-Fi.
Hi John,
You're asking if it's feasible for games and browsing to use your LAN connection while streaming on Wi-Fi. With two types of internet—LAN via ADSL and Wi-Fi connected to your gateway—yes, it should work. Just ensure your router supports QoS settings to prioritize gaming traffic over other activities. Let me know if you need more details!
Many Thanks.
You might prefer LTE or game over ADSL because they offer faster speeds and better performance compared to your slower ADSL connection.
Expect improved bandwidth on LTE and reduced latency with lower packet loss on ASDL. Likely, you can instruct your device to sort traffic based on the ports involved in browsing.
Policy-driven routing and route-map development at layer 7 are complex features. There isn’t a straightforward solution available for free on Windows. While you could attempt to adjust network settings manually, such as changing NIC metrics, this approach may not be reliable or supported consistently across all systems. It’s possible that more advanced networking appliances would handle these tasks better. Windows 7 and 8 offered some load balancing options through configuration changes, but Windows 10’s capabilities remain uncertain in this regard.
Yes, it's possible to adjust the settings for free. I understand changing the internet source or metric in Windows 10. I'll give it a try. If that doesn't help, I'll explore other options. @ShadySocks The gateway isn't reliable during streaming or when I disconnect from online games. I'm considering upgrading my router and checking if a Windows setup or software can resolve the issue.
