Can you use Wi-Fi and ethernet at the same time?
So being at college i'm limited to having bandwidth of 10 Mbps when connected regardless of wired or wireless.
There is an ethernet cable in my room as well as a wireless router on each floor.
Bandwidth to each type both gives me a cap of 10Mbps, so my question is, can I achieve 20Mbps if I can connect to both at the same time?
I hate not being able to watch twitch or youtube and play LoL at the same time. Is there a way to set it so that my browser uses my wifi while everything else uses my ethernet?
I'm using Win 8.1, if there is a way someone please teach me

[quote=firedannyX]@bobr in a college dorm, does that mean that 10mbs is shared with everyone in my hall? i don't want to believe that [/quote]
Sometime, but not always. The technology to partition bandwidth and throttle network speeds to each room exists, but it's expensive to implement and realistically beneficial to a minority. It's usually cheaper to pay more for bandwidth from the ISP servicing the entire campus than paying the upfront cost for the hardware, maintenance, and expertise to impose quality of service for everyone.

No. You only have 10mb/sec coming into your house (or whatever), and however you get to it, you'll only get 10mb/sec maximum.
1 apple + 1 apple equals 2 apples, not 1 bigger apple
I don't think there is a way to do that, but if there is, then I'd assume it to be somewhat complicated to set up.
