I want to combine two networks adaptors over wifi. They are both same the same connection. I don't which program is better. They both sound very promising. Currently I just bought an Alfa AWUS036NHV to increase my signal and I'm using Throttle 7 trial for PC. What other options or programs can I use to improve clarity?

There is no magic solution to this problem no matter how much software want you to think there is. They do their very best to make claims up front and have lots of conditions hidden in the fine print.

First all this is designed to combine 2 different internet connections. No matter what you do if you only buy say 5m from your ISP you will only get 5m. So if what you are trying to do is use 2 different wireless nic cards to connect to the same router you are wasting your time. Even if you could accomplish that it will give you no benefit since a single wireless is almost always faster than most people internet.

What most this is designed to do is say you have a DSL connection at 3m and a mobile broadband connection at 4m you can...

What most this is designed to do is say you have a DSL connection at 3m and a mobile broadband connection at 4m you can attempt to run both to attempt to use the 7m you pay for.

There are 2 way to do this and both have major restrictions that must be addresses.

The first way just runs some traffic on one connection and some other traffic on the other. You for example could watch 2 normal def netflix movies at the same time one on each connection. What you can not do is combine them together and watch a hidef video stream that needs 6m.
You have 2 different IP so to everyone on the Internet it appears as though you are 2 different people/computers. Connectify is a software that makes doing this easier. It can all be done with the ROUTE command. In either case you really have to know what is going on and configure things. Many game programs for example use 1 server to authenticate and another to play the game. So if you log into the authentication server using 1 connection and attempt to play the game with the other the game company will think someone is trying to hack into your account and prevent it. No software can know how every game company or bank or whatever is setup so you will have to constantly tune this so these groups of servers always use the same connection.

The second way is what speedify is. It attempt to hide the 2 ip address problem by sending all the traffic to a central location and then change the IPs so both appear to have the same ip. This actually can work fairly well if both the connections are similar. The problem is that if the data is split into 2 connections that have different delays to location. A example would be you sell a machine you take apart into 2 boxes. One box you ship on a airplane to a remote city and the other you give to a guy on a bicycle to deliver. Even though you get the first box quickly you still must wait for the other one to rebuild the machine and deliver it to the customer. It was only as fast as the slowest connection.'

This is the major issue since there always is some difference in the speed of the connections. This is also something you must pay someone else to do for you. You have the costs to go to the remote location to combine the 2 connections and then a special device to solve this delay problem. What many of these VPN services do to try to save money and hide the fact that you have to wait for the slowest connection. They just make no attempt to solve the issue of the data arriving out of order and the large delays. This would be the same as if in my example you just sent the part of the machine to the customer that was delivered by the airplane and never bother to tell him there was another part coming via bicycle. The customer would get made and cancel the order and tell you to resend it.

The vast majority of these VPN connections things used to combine data have this issue of out of order data because of the costs or putting in machines at their location to put the data back into order. The PC interrupts this as data loss in the network and requests retransmission and if it gets bad enough will close the sessions.

It would almost be as fair to say you can't combine 2 different internet connections for the people who only read the large print. The true answer is someplace inbetween and requires a educated consumer.
