Hello everyone, Over the last few weeks I've faced a somewhat inconsistent internet connection. Despite that, I still enjoy playing online games, so I've been using a tethered connection from my phone—which is more stable, even though it has a higher average latency (up to 10ms). The issue is that my mobile device has a data cap, so I can't keep using it for heavier tasks without running out quickly. My approach so far has been to switch between the two connections as needed, but it's becoming quite cumbersome. Recently, I've considered setting up a setup where both my laptop and phone remain connected simultaneously. I think the key would be adding a few persistent routes in my routing table and using metrics to ensure the system always chooses the best path for each task. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on this topic and am struggling to figure out how to determine the correct destinations for my game packets. I'm hoping someone with more experience can help me out.
Essentially, you could restrict specific applications to connect via a single network interface using firewall rules. It seems you meant to discuss loading options rather than volume. Edited June 3, 2018 by Ryan_Vickers
That's correct, no typos there. I'll look into your advice regarding the firewall.
It seems you haven’t fully understood the content yet. Here’s a clearer version:
The issue isn’t that the connection is completely lost, but rather that it becomes unstable. Latency increases significantly more than once every minute, making it unsuitable for activities like gaming.
This can work well in certain situations. It may shift to a different link when delays increase. These units are built for tasks like this. The main issue is that there isn’t a simple fix because of how networks function and server behavior during latency spikes. Can you adjust the QoS settings on your router?
Regarding the routing table you referenced, it seems to have potential. I've tried a comparable configuration earlier, but it didn't function as expected—though I gained some insights along the way.
