    Connect Two High Speed Internet
    I have a net4 broadband connection. They give it through lan. They have no modem. Only we have to login on the online inventum page before we connect to internet. They give static ip to lan connection. Now I have 384kbps speed at this time. I want to get 512 kbps speed also for better speed. As they don't give 1mbps connection in our city yet. They r upgrading there speed in 3 months. Now I want to connect both of these two connection in one laptop. Also want to bridge them and get combine speed from both the connection. Also share that combine speed on my lan. So told me is it possible? Its very urgent because of speed.

    What you will probably need is a "load balancing router", but that would be for 2 physical connections.

    Don't know enough about that system to know if it is possible.

    These are just some places to start.

    You can't do what you want with consumer grade hardware. You need business grade hardware to connect to both LAN connections, login to both connections, and provide access to both connections to a single laptop. Expect to spend in excess of $1000 on the hardware needed to achieve this.

    The hardware we looked at for this a year ago for business use required a $20k plus hardware purchase for three routers, etc.

    But while browsing a while back, I saw some LinkSys products that performed this same thing on a smaller scale for a small office type environment and the price for the single device is around $450. I could not believe my eyes that it was so cheap. So here it is a link to it for your review.

    Yes, that one has a load balancing capability but it cannot combine the speed of the connection... you can just redirect on which connection will the traffic go to ease some network traffic..

    I'd catch up on your reading and not give false information. (From the data sheet)

    or both Internet lines can be active

    Well, Linksys stuff doesn't work anyway, so I would not be surprised.

    I've owed a printserver and a hub. I had to throw both of them away.

    Does it have the functionality to login to each network, which is a requirement for this user? (I don't think so.)
