Merge two Wi-Fi networks together for improved connectivity.
Hello, you're trying to boost your internet speed by combining a DSL and 4G connection. An article suggested adjusting the advanced IPv4 adapter settings for each link to "Interface Metric: 15." You've made that change. Despite this, Speedtest results still don’t reflect an improvement. You’re considering using Speedify but want a free alternative. I recall Linus mentioning similar techniques in his networking videos, though I’m not sure about specific tools he recommended.
I'm unsure about the feasibility of this approach. The speed test typically evaluates connection to a single server or ISP. My initial interest would be whether two network adapters are both transmitting and receiving data, which you can verify via networkadapters status. Honestly, I believe this would require significantly more setup than just adjusting adapter priority.
Your PC can only connect to the speed test via a single route. Each link has its own IP address, so merging both isn't possible. Data moves through one path at a time. This method is ideal for distributing load or switching on failure, but it doesn't combine bandwidth from multiple sources.
