In Windows 7, if I have two active network connections both with internet access, what network connection would be used for internet access?

Do they both get used together thus increasing the overall speed or does it default to one or the other?

Check what your default route is set to.




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

How?

Both connections are sending and receiving data.

Open up a command prompt, and type "route print"

Look for something like this

Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100 10

the 0.0.0.0 route is your default route.
