Two internet connection on the same PC (WiFi and ethernet)

I have windows 8.  I have two internet connections. A cable (wired) and another in the microwave (wifi).  Normally isn't a problem because desktop computers are on the cable connections and the TV, laptops and other toys are on wifi.

But sometimes I want to use two connections on a PC, like download a large file and stream and watch the Broncos game at the same time. I want to use Ethernet as a main and did use WiFi when Ethernet is too busy. I can't understand how to do this.  Anyone know?

Hi Gerard,.

You can activate the Wifi and cable connected at the same time, but you can use the Internet from one of them. The computer will prefer the cable if the cable is connected.

If both are capable of providing Internet access, computer will prefer the wired (Ethernet) network to access the Internet (and not use the Wifi network to access the Internet).

The advantage of using two connections is to get Internet access without interruption when a connection does not work.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

    Why not!!!  You can use "Sun xVM VirtualBox" (software that allows you to use another Windows throw Windows)

    You just need to have a usb ADSL modem modem. While you can link the usb modem to the virtual Windows. (And a download in the virtual Windows Manager). This (USB MODEM) is necessary because the main window does not define the usb modem ( again MUST NOT IDENTIFY) TO IDENTIFY THE MODEM IN THE VIRTUAL WINDOWS ACTIVATE activate the setting of the Sun xVM VirtualBox USB controller and then install the software of your modem for the virtual Windows and then start the download. After The Connect WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access () To the Main Windows. Then, start the download with it. So easy! only, you should spend some time to get rid of.
    I've tried it! This works.
    ATTENTION:
    1. you should allocate your hard drive for your virtual windows.
    2. If you want to transfer files between two windows, you must enable the USB controller in the setting Sun xVM VirtualBox .  And a Flash memory is required to transfer files between two windows.

    Hello

    You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone.

    If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.

    Thank you best regards &,.

  • PREVENT CONNECTION WITH THE SAME CREDENTIALS

    I developed an application. I gave 5 business users access, but more users are using it in connection with the same user name and password. I use custom authetication based on apex.

    Is it possible to prevent two simultaneous connection with the same credentials.

    Thank you

    Umesh

    A suggestion, it is NOT perfect...

    You must use custom authentication... In this configuration, you add a column to the table with user names, call it online and use a car1. When the user connects and you check their authentication, if it passes, you update the table with a 'Y' in the line with their ID card.

    When they log out, you're going to run a process to update at the same table, replacing the 'Y' by "n" or null...

    So when a user connects, you will also verify their line use an if the column is set to 'Y', then your custom authentication MUST return the error that this connection is already recorded...

  • How to take snapshots of two usb camera at the same time

    Hello

    I have a project where I have to take still photos of two usb camera at the same time repeatedly and save the in a particular direcltory. I am received using a camera by using "Camera Grab vi", but I can't make it work with 2 cameras, I use the flat sequence and 2 "Camerra Grab vi: with particular camera in a sequence, but each time when I run the program I get only pic of a camera, its seems a camera dominates the other.»

    Please is it possible to use the two camera simultaneously. Attached are the snapshot of my vi.

    Thank you

    Ankit G

    Looks like you are using the same reference at the same time grabbing the camera. The two camera snaps happen but the second camera clamp is written on the first so it seems alone is slam. Try to run the VI executiong highlighted arbitrary mode (select icon icons four bulb to the right of the button run on the schema). This will allow you to see the data stream. In order to get both of these Snap you'll need separate references. You can try to watch one of our examples in the example Finder OR give you some direction (LabVIEW > help > find examples > Browse tab > Input and Output material > IMAQdx > high level > Snap.vi). You can break the two cameras at the same time if you just copy this code and double of the code.
    (Note: If you change the examples, always save as copy in another location so that you do not save on the packed example)

  • Multimedia file sharing only works if the two devices are connected using the same protocol

    So I'm frustrated!

    I spent an hour trying to get my Windows 7 computer to share my music with my XBox 360. I have two machines on my network, one connected by Ethernet to the router and the other connected by WiFi. I tried everything I could find online to get the WiFi connected machine appears in the "Music Player" on my XBox system - follow all sharing, make sure that my router has UPnP, restarted a bouquet of services, etc..
    Nothing! During this time, my machine connected to Ethernet was watching me in the face. He has appeared on the XBox without problem. I started to compare the settings on both machines and found no difference.
    Then I remembered, boredom, I had setting up WiFi sync for Windows Phone my wife. In fact, it was this session of troubleshooting that lead me to put this machine on the WiFi in the first place! Seems to set up WiFi sync, Windows Phone and the target of the machine must be, not only connected to the same network (obviously), but for some reason any the $ @$ crazy, both connected by WiFi. I just connected this computer by WiFi - not happy, a faster speed with my wired connection - and immediately fixed the problem itself.
    Then, remembering that, I moved my XBox WiFi network and - presto - my second machine appears without a problem.
    My question is... WTF! ???
    This is ridiculous - this is the same network! Why things must be connected using the same protocol?

    Hi, Edward Petersen,.

    Please contact the Microsoft community. I'll help you solve the problem with sharing music using media sharing.

    Some routers isolate the cable connections and wireless, you can check if you have the option in the configuration of the router to share media

    If the problem occurs, you can contact the router manufacturer for assistance.

    Hope this information helps. If you need help with Windows, simply reply that we will be happy

    How do I keep my wifes calls appear on my phone and mine appear on hers, we share the same acct icloud and itunes? It just started this on one or two updates ago

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    I'm afraid that is what happens when you share an Apple ID.

    Ideally you should each have your own ID and use family share for share purchases, but at least you would be better to have your own ID's for everything except iTunes.

    I suspect that your problem is that you share an ID for FaceTime, you must either stop this or make sure that you have only and that your caller ID is only your phone number.

  • two or more of the same connected printer?

    Got my new OfficeJet Pro 8630 a few days ago and installed on Windows 7 x 64 as a seamless wireless network printer.

    Last night, I noticed the 'install the device driver' dialog box pop up Windows. Since then, the HP utility 8630 informs me that I have 'two or more of the same printer connected' and asked me to choose:

    "HP Office Jet Pro 8630 (network)", and

    "HP9D41EB (HP Officejet Pro 8630.

    The first shows all the data that must be there when the HP utility appears (print, scan, fax); the second shows only the news 'Print '.

    In the window 'Printers and devices' CP, there is always only ONE printer, illustrated by default, named "HP9D41EB (HP Officejet Pro 8630".

    How can I get rid of the bad? I don't want to put my Windows Setup through uninstall and reinstall everything. I saw messages on this topic with different printers HP in Win 7 since at least 2011. Y at - it an explanation and a solution?

    Thank you

    JW

    It's what worked:

    I noticed that the name of the printer in the Windows "Devices and printers" was one of the two who gave information "printing" in the HP utility, so I clicked and was removed in "Devices and printers", leaving no HP printer at all.

    Then when I went back to the HP utility, it showed NO printer, but had returned to "connect A new printer. I did and it works very well - only one instance that shows the print, fax and scan as it should.

    Looks like Windows itself wants to detect the printer via a different driver.

    Thank you

  • Desktop sharing, allow two users to connect on the same desktop

    Does anyone know if view Horizon be configured in such a way that:

    -Two (or more) users can connect on the same desktop

    -vSGA can still be used

    The reason why I ask, is that in my area there is a request for collaboration in which two people on different locations want to go through a 3D medical treatment plan and discuss on the phone. Documentation of the Horizon does not say that it can, but it does not say that he can't.

    There is nothing on the Horizon that would in native mode.  You must use a product type to have two people viewing the same third party screen sharing office.
