Help connecting two Ethernet ports together
Help connecting two Ethernet ports together
Hi, I have two Ethernet connections. I'm in a country with limited internet access, but my provider offers up to 100 Mbps. I have two different providers, and both connections are the same speed. I've tried several times to connect them using a bridge, but it doesn't work and the network goes down. Could someone help me?
You’ll need a firewall or router that meets your requirements. PFSense and OPNsense are free operating systems that can convert an older PC into functional one as long as it has at least two Ethernet ports (or three in this scenario). You might also want a switch and a wireless access point, but your existing router can work too. Keep in mind that even with balanced usage, you’ll hit a maximum of 100mb/s per device or app. Data will travel through different WAN connections, so speeds measured will reflect a single link. This setup can also interfere if the system switches devices between connections during games or streams.
It seems like you're confirming something is functioning. Let me know how I can assist further!
