You should be able to have two adapters. You will have to set the one for local access only -- no default gateway and a static IP address. Make sure the static IP address range is DIFFERENT than the adapter you use for internet access. For example 192.168.1.xx for internet and 192.168.10.xx for local access only.
Hi everyone, I have been looking for a way to use 2x11n usb wifi adaptors (or 1x11g built-in and 1x11n usb wifi adapters) in my laptop in order to increase my home network throughput when copying files from my laptop over wifi to my NAS drive attached to the usb port of my 300Mbps 11n modem. Is it the solution what is being suggested here and how I could do this? I am not interested in improving my internet download or upload speed by using, say, connectify, speedify etc, just curious making intranet faster, i.e. up to the allowed limit of 300Mbps 11n protocol.
The reason why I want this?: Simple. For some reason, I am only having data transfer speeds over wifi like 10-12 MB/s on an N300 network and I thought I could combine power of both wifi cards (a way to utilize the second adapter which came from an unplanned purchase) to obtain much faster speeds. I am worried of interference of two wifi adapters being in the same spot, that is especially problematic on 2.4Ghz frequencies. Any other suggestions if this is a stupid idea in essence?
Many thanks in advance.
