can you bridge your home internet with a wifi connection?

Can you bridge your home internet with a wifi connection? So I have home internet cable on my desktop and also use wifi on my laptop at my home also. Is it possible to connect the two on my desktop for double the speed?

I managed to have my desktop hooked up with wires to the router AND connect with my wifi card at the same time. I don't think it makes your net any faster.

You try downloading anything? I just set it up myself. I'll see if I can get the right config and bridge It tomorrow. Got a wndr 3300 wifi router with comcrap Internet and a laptop with wifi using comcrap Internet too.

I've casually connected two -or even three- different connections to the internet, but the problem is that the operating system assigns a default path/adapter that all internet traffic is routed through. Unplug that wire, and your IP address instantly changes as your OS switches to another network adapter. I have never been able to combine two simultaneous connections (and therefore double download speed) in either XP or Linux, but I wouldn't doubt that there's software available to do this -- or even just simple configuration settings. No doubt there are numerous 'geek' sites that explain exactly how it's done.

Metrics decide which network route is chosen first - a lower metric equals a smaller "cost" and is thus preferable. ForceBindIP can be used to force programs to use a particular adapter only. That's all I know that might help, as I never tried this either (you can't steal good Wi-Fi where I reside ).

i can steal the same wifi speed i already have, they just leave it open to the public.. I got this router thinking i can use it to steal their wifi but I found out it only broadcasts and doesn't receive. Is it possible to rout it from my laptop to my router then to my desktop?

[anon]

There's no setting to turn the router into a signal repeater? I've seen that on very cheap models...

I have never been able to merge two multiple relationships (and therefore dual obtain speed) in either XP or A linux system, but I wouldn't question that there's application available to do this -- or even just easy configurations settings.

IKR. Threesomes seem more like a thing of the movies than something a guy can actually make happen. At least without stooping to ugly/fat chicks.

I tried it, and there's not enough honesty lying around to keep that machine running.
