You're trying a different setup for your internet connection. Since you're using two 400x20 Ethernet cables—one on the networking card and one on the motherboard—you're aiming for higher speed. However, the math suggests it might not work that way, but it's worth testing. You're considering whether this could actually boost performance.

You require a Layer 3 device like a router or switch to perform Ethernet bonding and load balancing. This setup allows you to connect the 800x40 link to the two 400x20 installations. In Windows, this would only be possible with the Server edition.
