This wikiHow teaches you how to combine two or more Internets into one main network. This way, you will split your download speeds into two or more Internet connections so that your overall browsing speed is not affected by continuous streaming or downloading large files.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: On Windows

1. Purchase a USB Wi-Fi adapter (USB Wi-Fi adapter). You will need this extra device for the computer to recognize multiple Wi-Fi networks.
   • You can find USB Wi-Fi on the internet (such as online shopping sites Lazada, Tiki, etc.) or computer component stores like Phong Vu ,.
2. Connect the USB Wi-Fi adapter to the computer. You need to plug the Wi-Fi adapter into one of the USB ports on the computer chassis.
   • If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to set up the adapter.
3. Connect to a second Wi-Fi network. Click the "Wi-Fi" icon.

   

   
   
   In the lower right of the screen, click the drop-down box at the top of the pop-up menu and select Wi-Fi 2 and connect to your second wireless network.
4. Open Start

   

   . Click the Windows logo in the lower left corner of the screen.
5. Open Settings

   

   
   
   (Setting). Click the gear icon in the lower left of the Start menu.
6. Click

   

   Network & Internet. This orb icon is in the Settings window.
7. Click Change adapter options (Change adapter options). This option is below the "Change your network settings" heading in the middle of the page. The Control Panel window will open with all current Internet connections.
8. Double-click on the primary Wi-Fi network. This is the network that you connected to before plugging in the Wi-Fi adapter. A window will pop up.
9. Change network properties. To enable two wireless connections at the same time, you need to change the properties of both networks, the primary network first:
   • Click Properties
   • Choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4) (Internet Protocol version 4)
   • Click Properties
   • Click Advanced ... (Advanced)
   • Uncheck the box for "Automatic metric".
   • Import 15 into the "Interface metric" text box.
   • Click OK at the top of the two windows.
   • Click Close (Close) is at the bottom of two windows.
10. Change the properties of the second connection. Proceed in the same way as you did for the first connection, don't forget to enter the number as well 15 into the "Interface metric" text box.
11. Restart the computer. Click Start

    

    
    
    , choose Power

    

    then click Restart. After the restart, the computer will use both connections to split the bandwidth. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: On a Mac

1. Make sure you have two Ethernet ports. To combine two Internet networks on your Mac without using a special router, you need to connect to each network router via an Ethernet cable. This means your Mac must either have two Ethernet ports or be able to connect to an Ethernet adapter:
   • If your Mac has an Ethernet port and at least one USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) port, you can buy an Apple USB-C Ethernet adapter for a second Ethernet port.
   • If your Mac computer doesn't have an Ethernet port but has at least two USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 3), you can buy two Apple USB-C Ethernet adapters to form two Ethernet ports.
   • If your Mac has only one USB-C port (Thunderbolt 3) and doesn't have an Ethernet port, you can't combine the two Internet networks through the Ethernet connection. Try using a load balancing router instead.
   • Because a Mac computer can only combine two networks that use the same 802.3ad compliant connection standard, you cannot use a USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter.
2. Connect both routers to the Mac. With the Ethernet cable for each router, plug one end of the cable into the "LAN" port (or similar) on the back of your router, then plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your Mac.
   • If your Mac has only one Ethernet port, you need to connect to the Ethernet adapter first.
3. Open the Apple menu

   

   . Click the Apple logo in the upper left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear.
4. Click System Preferences… (Customize system). The option is near the top of the drop-down menu. The System Preferences window opens.
5. Click Network (Network). This sphere icon is in the System Preferences window. After you click, the Network window will open.
6. Click the "Action" gear icon in the lower left of the window. A menu will pop up.
7. Click Manage Virtual Interfaces… (Virtual management interface). This option is in the "Action" menu that pops up. A new window will open up.
8. Click the mark ＋ in the lower left of the new window. A drop-down menu will appear.
9. Click New Link Aggregate ... (New set of links). This option is in the drop-down menu.
10. Select Ethernet port. Click the check box to the left of each Ethernet connection.
11. Enter name. Enter a name for your new connection in the text box at the top of the window.
12. Click Create (Create) then select Apply (Apply). Your corporate Internet will be created and connected to your computer. Your Mac automatically splits tasks like downloading and streaming files over two separate connections. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: By balancing router load

1. Buy a load balancer router. The load balancing router connects all of the Internet into one large broadcast session. You can connect multiple modems on the same Wi-Fi network to the load balancing router, and all of the modem's networks will be handled.
   • A two-connection load balancing router costs about 900,000 - 2,100,000 VND.

2. 

   
   
   Connect all modems to the router. With two or more Wi-Fi networks broadcast from separate modems, you can connect them to the load balancing router by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into the square "Internet" port on the modem, with the other end plugged into the port. behind the router.

3. 

   
   
   Open the router's configuration page on the computer. You will do this by entering the IP address of the commonly used connection (located in your computer's network settings) into your browser.
   • If, after connecting to the IP address in your computer's network settings, the router configuration page does not open, check the "Basic Setup" section of your router's manual for find the exact address.

4. 

   
   
   Click Advanced. This option is usually on the left side of the router's page.
   • While most load balancing routers have a fairly similar configuration page, you might see slight differences in some options and locations depending on the device manufacturer.

5. 

   Click Load Balance (Load Balancing) This option is also typically on the left side of the page.

6. 

   Uncheck the "Enable Application Optimized Routing" checkbox. This box is usually near the top of the page.

7. 

   Uncheck the checkbox "Enable Bandwidth Based Balance Routing" (Enable balanced routing based on bandwidth). This and the previous one will allow the router to combine the load balancing of Wi-Fi into a single network.

8. 

   Click OK good Save (Save). Your settings will be saved.

9. 

   Enjoy the speed of the combined network. After setting up the load balancing router and connecting the computer to the router's name from the Wi-Fi menu, you should notice a speed difference while surfing the web. advertisement

Advice

• When multiple networks are connected, the two networks share traffic with each other, and the factor that improves is not the data download speed, but the bandwidth (how much capacity you can download before the speed slows down).
• Try streaming the movie while downloading the large file over the combined network to see if your bandwidth improves.
• If you don't have a Wi-Fi connection other than your home or work network, you can use your smartphone as your personal hotspot and create your own custom wireless network.

Warning

• Combining multiple private networks may violate your Internet service provider's contract. You should double check the details of the network service contract before you can combine two or more Internet connections.
