hello.

im not sure if this is the right place to start this thread so im sorry if it's not the right one.

i have a lan modem at home which is not that good its like 8mb speed so its good for streaming and everything except online gaming because i cant get a good ping could be because there are 6 people using it at the same time.

anyway i have a postpaid phone 4g service which allows me 5gb per month i tried it yesterday and it was very good i was getting a stable good ping in wow but after 3 hours i noticed i used up 240 mb and i noticed that the browser and other apps was the cause because i know wow wont take that much.

so my question is can i use my usb 4g tethering just for wow and have the rest of my pc use the network connection?

First you must have 2 nics to do this your pc can not associate to 2 different wireless devices at the same time.

The way this has been done in the past is with software called forcebindip. I have not used it is years and I see there are issues with 32bit vs 64bit but there are examples how to do WOW.

The other way to do it is with the route command. This does not force a application to use a connection but it does use the connection only for the IP location you specify.

This tends to be a little tedious but at least WoW does not try to hide the information.

First step is to issue ROUTE PRINT (you likely must launch the cmd prompt in admin mode)
Now use the ROUTE delete command to get rid of the 0.0.0.0 route for the tethered connection.

Now you need to issue ROUTE ADD commands for the main servers at wow as well the actual game servers you run on. You want to set the gatewa on these commands to be the ip of the tethered connection.

WoW does not take a lot but if you play it for many hours it quickly adds up.

thanks for the reply.

if the route command method will only use the phone connection for wow then i guess this is my solution.

however i have no experience in such methods if you can explain step by step i would be thankful.

thanks in advance.

This is one of those things that you pretty much just need to play with to learn.

type route from the cmd prompt and it will give you the help for the command.
