I have two distinct Ethernet links on different networks. Right now they're only used for connecting to various network shares. Could there be a method to combine them so they act as a single connection, merging the speeds from both while still letting you reach shares in both networks?
Connections that lead to different areas cannot be linked together.
I believe what you're talking about is called NIC teaming - if you're on Windows 10, great news! If you're on Windows 11, NIC teaming is not officially supported but there are ways to try and make it work There's an old thread on here explaining how to set it up: This is a guide I've used that has worked. If your network shares are on different networks though, you'll still be limited to the speed of the 1 single network adapter connected to each share, though, so keep that in mind.
