How would I configure this. I noticed in my LAN adapter settings I have option for bandwidth sharing or load balancing between the dual Intel Ethernet ports on my Asus z97 deluxe. I read some older posts on here saying windows won't allow load balancing but then why would Intel have this option maybe its new. Anyways I only want the load balancing on my comp with z97 deluxe. As for the WiFi I could just have my other devices connect to the surfboard 6580? Or even enable Asus desktop as a hot spot? Reasons I want load balancing is my ISP is retarded I will get lag spikes like crazy during peak hours and after school hours and plus can't leave a empty hole on back of comp.....

If one is a modem and the other is a router you would likely get a real address on one and some private range on the other. A long as you assigned a different private range to the lan on dual wan route it will be fine

Yes you only need a single connection to use both.

You still have the same issue of some connection go out one and some go out the other and you pretty much manually have to set it up.

You can try the load balancing but it messes things up a lot of the time. A example people seem to have trouble with would be playing a game. If the login server used one connection and the game server used the other it will detect this as a hack. The auto load balance can not normally figure this out. You have similar issues...

You can only sorta use both connection.

You can't actually combine the connection to together using the port bonding in the nic. This is usually 802.3ad port aggregation. You need a special switch that also supports it.

Now you can plug each nic into a different cable modem and as long as you have the 2 router configured to give you different subnets you can have both online.

Your key problem is that you have different IP addresses from the ISP on each modem. So any traffic going out one get one ip and traffic going out the other gets a different one. The whole internet is based on the concept that different IP represent different machines so if you attempt to talk to a server on the internet using both ip it will get confused and in most cases close the connection.

You can though go rig your PC to go to different locations using the 2 connections. You could say you wanted traffic for websiite A to use connection 1 and website B to use connection 2.

The magic command to get this all done is ROUTE from a CMD window. There are some application you can buy that will also do this. But in any case it will not increase your download speed on a single file.

OK cool so I'll just get a TP multi wan router and run it from there to comp. I just figured the dual LAN set up on Asus MB acted like a tp router would. But then when running from multi wan router I would only need to plug in one of the Asus nic cards, to utilize both I would have to run 2 single wan routers. One last question one of my modems is a router its sbg 6580 other one is not its just a modem its sbg 6141 I think that's the name. Would I still have IP conflict?

You have similar issues with secure sites like banks.

An of course it will never combine them to increase the speed of a single file transfer.

Yea you right its near impossible combine the 2 connections together I guess best way is to contact ISP and see if they do wan bonding from there end. Or have a 3rd party like connectivity bond it, which I would never do prolly shoot latancy threw the roof. But since I already bought a second modem and tp-link multi LAN router I'll just set them up for bandwith or a fail safe. Guess that that second Intel LAN port on MB is ment to be empty
