You can connect both Ethernet and WiFi to your laptop simultaneously. Make sure the settings allow dual connectivity so you can use them together for faster performance.
They originate from various routers operated by distinct ISPs
However, I'm unable to transmit information through both channels at the same time.
To increase your internet speed without using a load balancer or channel bonding, you won't be able to. When you have two separate networks (on different subnets), it only lets you connect to both from one device. A few programs, such as qbittorrent, let users pick a specific NIC for transfers, but most others don't offer this option.
You can set up a fixed route on your device to send certain traffic through your second connection. This allows you to control which IP addresses or ranges are directed there, such as keeping all other traffic on the main internet connection except for a specific destination.
This. There is no simple way to do this at home on a laptop. TCP/IP Traffic isn't that smart, and unless you add fairly pricey hardware, you won't be "sharing" pipes like that.
Peplink offers a hardware router design that distributes load between two channels. However, the price tag is substantial.
