[SOLVED] Streaming from 1 PC on 2 Networks, possible?

[xivizor]

Hey

I want to get one more network connection in my room (gonna pay for one), meaning one more router to my current one.

Is it possible to livestream, playing on 1 internet and streaming on the other, so I won't be having any ping issues, etc?
If so, how? I just don't wanna buy one more connection if it won't work.

Thanks

The issue I see here is this.
All internet that I am familiar with on the cable/phone side are all basically using the "same wire" for a section of providers. You are sharing bandwidth with neighbors, in spite of the speed you pay for. You note that all of the ISP say "speeds up to". So, while there is low demand you have faster internet and as more neighbors are utilizing the service, it's slower.
My thoughts would be that you are going to increase local load and cause more issue than solving, aside from the cost.
Does your ISP not offer a faster tier of service cheaper than a whole other "line"?
Perhaps consider lowering settings, etc?

I would imagine that if your ISP is like mine they will TELL you anything to get you to pay them more money....

Taking in account the above comments be very sure 2 connections will get you more bandwidth. This is almost silly if you can get a single connection that is like 300mbps since it is larger than most peole

As to question can you use both at the same time the answer is yes with some work.

There are a number of ways to accomplish this. Some people use mulitple ethernet ports on their pc. You can then use programs like forcebindip. Note this program tends to get broken now and then by microsoft patches. Using this you can force all traffic from a particular program to use a certain connection. There are issues using thing like chrome because it opens mulitple processes.

Although a little more work I would recommend the following method.

Leave 1 router run as default. On the second router assign a different IP. So if your main router is 192.168.1.1 assign the second router 192.168.1.2. Turn off the DHCP in the second router. Make sure the main router to exclude this ip from the main router DHCP pool so it does not give it out to another device. Now connect the lan ports together on the router.

You now have both internet connection live.

To actually use them the magic command in your pc is ROUTE.

By default all traffic will go to the main router. If you do ROUTE PRINT you will see a 0.0.0.0 entry that causes this. So what you now do is get a list of all the IP address you want to use the secondary connection. You want to be somewhat selective what you put on the second connection because the list of IP addresses will be unmanageable if you would say use a web browser.

You then do ROUTE ADD x.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2

For each ip you want to use the second connection.
