Connecting to Two Networks Simultaneously: i7-4790k, 8GB RAM, GTX970, Windows 10 Pro, LTE Internet

Wrathtide 9099 19
Best answers

Can I use two different internet connections on one Windows 10 PC and route specific applications like YouTube or Twitch through one link while keeping normal traffic on the other?

Yes, but only in a limited way: on Windows you can use two network adapters and force specific traffic or specific applications through one connection, not freely split arbitrary outgoing traffic by upload/download type [#16543132] ForceBindIP was suggested as a way to bind one program to one Internet link, though it may need to be run as administrator and can be picky about which IP you bind to [#16543135][#16543907][#16545129] Another approach is static routing: add routes for the destination IP ranges you want to send through the second gateway, for example with `route -p add ...` and an interface number [#16544202][#16546008] For YouTube, one reply listed several IP ranges that can be routed this way, and noted that you need to calculate the correct masks, e.g. with `ipcalc` [#16546008] The main limitation is that this works by destination IP ranges, so it is not a clean “all YouTube/Twitch traffic only” switch unless you correctly identify all of those ranges [#16544202][#16546008]

    Hello all,

    I have the following problem, I have quite good equipment (i7-4790k, 8gb ram, gtx970, windows 10 professional) and I like to play various new games very much. Unfortunately, my internet connection is unfortunately too slow to stream (8mbps download and 0.6mbps upload about) but it is sufficient for online games. I live in a 2-family house and my cousin with whom I have a very good relationship has LTE internet from play. The range for me is ok, the upload of his internet is about 5mbps, unfortunately the problem is the download speed which is limited to 100 GB. From what I know, the transfer speed does not count towards this limit and therefore I have a question whether it is possible to connect to 1 computer somehow 2 routers, one of which would be used for normal work / games / internet browsing and the other (cousin) for transfer data, e.g. on youtube or twitch? Is it possible to use both connections at once (twitch redirection to the second link)? If not, is there any other solution to the problem?

    If you have any idea, please write boldly, I'm familiar with google so if something like that already exists or somehow it's called, give it away with a name, I will find it and see the topic. I also warn you that unfortunately I can't change the internet because I use a lot of data myself, so LTE falls off and the optical fiber will not be there for a long time, besides, the contract ends only in 1.5 years.

    Best regards and thank you in advance for any help

    Generally, something that more or less meets your requirements can be done at the level of the operating system itself. However, you must have two network adapters. Unfortunately, it is not possible to separate outgoing traffic in this way. You can only force the system to send all traffic from / to YouTube or from / to Twitch through a specific network card.

    And what information is this? In Play, the 100GB limit applies to both DL and UL and is counted together. And UL 5Mb / sw Play is a poor result. In Play, you can have 100GB without a contract for PLN 5 / month and if you need more, you use several cards, each cost PLN 5 / month. Of course you need a router with Dual WAN and LTE modem / router. You can now also have 1.41TB without a contract for PLN 100 in Orange. Both Orange and Play have LTE coverage in Bulowice. Play even LTE-A because it uses LTE1800 + 800 aggregation from BTS at Bielska 215, also LTE2100 on it. Orange from this location has LTE800.

    I haven't specified yet that I have 2 network cards in total. I have a killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet controller card (connected by a cable - my network) and such a small WIFI 802.11n USB adapter Wireless LAN CARD (WIFI connection - cousin's network)

    Information from a cousin (apparently from the contract) she is already from a few years ago so I do not know how it was "then", I would have to have it in my hands. As for Orange, maybe in theory it is good - in practice I had tragedies at home. I took it for a week for testing and it was worse than what I have now. As for the LTE Internet, I do not have my own router and I would prefer to use what I have than to buy new things.

    You don't have LTE equipment, how do you want to use it? To connect on WIFi on those cards you have on the other side you need an LTE router.

    As I wrote - I do not have OWN LTE router - I intend to use the LTE Cousin ROUTER via a USB WIFI ADAPTER. My internet connection (my network) is a wifi router (WITHOUT LTE) connected to the ORANGE line.

    In addition, as I wrote - I do not want to set up my own LTE network / buy LTE cards / LTE router. I want to use my network and cousin's network, that's all. All I need is information whether it can be done and, if necessary, HOW. If anyone knows, I will be grateful for any links / information.

    and this is what I would like - would you give some link as easily understood by a layman? Ew how can I find something like that? Or I would like a description if you had a moment.

    And the cousin is aware that if you start using his LTE it is 100GB, which is at full speed may not be enough for you ?. After this limit, Play will cut to DL up to 1Mb / s and UL to 384Kb / s. Contrary to what he claims, DLi UL is always included in the limit for mobile operators, you will send several large files and stay with slow internet. And the next thing is do you have the right level of signal from your LTE router? After WiFi, the speeds decrease with the range, with a poor signal there are problems with a stable connection.

    Is aware and range is appropriate. I made sure of it myself. But I would prefer that instead of discussing family and hardware issues, we discuss the software issue with which I have a problem :)

    Here's how to add static routing: http://thesolving.com/server-room/how-to-conf...-to-route-traffic-through-a-specific-gateway/
    The problem with this solution is to correctly specify the range of IP addresses, e.g. for YouTube or Twitch.

    OK, I will write everything because maybe I am doing something wrong. So:
    Connecting to Two Networks Simultaneously: i7-4790k, 8GB RAM, GTX970, Windows 10 Pro, LTE Internet - you can see the folder and administrator permissions (I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions)

    Connecting to Two Networks Simultaneously: i7-4790k, 8GB RAM, GTX970, Windows 10 Pro, LTE Internet here is LTE cousin internet (the gateway to which I want to redirect the application)

    Connecting to Two Networks Simultaneously: i7-4790k, 8GB RAM, GTX970, Windows 10 Pro, LTE Internet - based on this program, I determined to my network card which geforce experience application sends the image to YT. It is clear that the upload speed is high (sorting from the highest).

    And here is the code for the BAT file in ForceBindIP
    ForceBindIP -i 192.168.137.1 "C: \ Program Files \ NVIDIA Corporation \ ShadowPlay \ nvspcaps64.exe"

    After running the bat file, nothing changes and the network controller (LAN) continues to record data transmission (application: is it not working?). Even after restarting the application and stream.

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I am waiting for any corrections / suggestions

    Ultimately, I would like it to work with geforce experience and youtube (although twitch can also be).

    From what I read it is redirecting the entire internet to a specific link and I only care about 1 application (the rest is to remain on the previous internet). But I can be wrong - I just understood this article.

    There is a way / trick to redirect this through ports, blocking applications in the network (I do not know, just such an idea) or an additional router (on the basis of some gateways for ports)?

    To test instead of nvspcaps64.exe use firefox.exe and check if it works.

    I don't use firefox only chroma, but I think it doesn't make much difference. Unfortunately it does not work. Even to be sure, I blocked it in a network (LAN). You can see that the wifi will not vibrate. Connecting to Two Networks Simultaneously: i7-4790k, 8GB RAM, GTX970, Windows 10 Pro, LTE Internet

    I also turned off BItDefender and all firewalls (bitdefender + windows) to be sure - it did nothing.

    > ForceBindIP -i 192.168.137.1 "C: \ Program Files \ NVIDIA Corporation \ ShadowPlay \ nvspcaps64.exe"

    you have to give the computer IP to forcebindip, not the ip router.

    And not the gateway (router) through which the application is to connect?

    Yeah, until you theoretically understand it, you are not free to try other ip addresses, no one knows what will happen to your computer.

    For theoretical considerations, I refer to the author's website.

    To be sure I tried on chrome - also without results on my computer's ip, i.e. 192.168.137.211

    Hmm, and would it make sense to connect an additional router to the network that would separate the connection depending on the application? Something like a virtual server? I have at home a WiFi amplifier from ASUSA RP12 or something like that and with 2 other routers that dust in the attic

    For me windows disconnects WIFI as I plug in a lan.

    Look at the network connections panel when you connect the lan.

    Added after 4 [minutes]:

    Only when I connect to the same network (router) after wifi and lan.

    No, you are redirecting you to specific ranges of IP addresses to a specific network connection, e.g.
    route -p add 199.223.232.0 MASK 255.255.248.0 10.220.33.15 IF 2

    It will route traffic to IP from the first range below to the second network interface via gateway 10.220.33.15.
    YouTube IP ranges. You need to designate network masks with a calculator, e.g. http://jodies.de/ipcalc

    199.223.232.0 - 199.223.239.255
    207.223.160.0 - 207.223.175.255
    208.65.152.0 - 208.65.155.255
    208.117.224.0 - 208.117.255.255
    209.85.128.0 - 209.85.255.255
    216.58.192.0 - 216.58.223.255
    216.239.32.0 - 216.239.63.255

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the challenge of connecting to two networks simultaneously using a computer with an i7-4790k processor, 8GB RAM, and a GTX970 graphics card running Windows 10 Pro. The user seeks to utilize their cousin's LTE internet for data transfer while maintaining their own slower internet connection for gaming and browsing. Responses indicate that while it is possible to route specific application traffic through different network adapters using tools like ForceBindIP, the user must have two network adapters and proper configuration. Concerns are raised about the LTE data cap and the need for a router with Dual WAN capabilities. Suggestions include using static routing to direct traffic based on IP ranges and testing configurations with different applications. The user expresses a desire for straightforward guidance on implementing these solutions without investing in new hardware.
