Let’s first understand some background stuff. Your connections may be from different ISPs but you can still join them. You can join them regardless of their type - wired LAN/WAN, wifi connection or mobile Internet ( 3G/4G etc). You can combine both your connections to get a speed of around 2 MBPS and thus you will be able to watch your movie sooner! In this article we will learn how you can combine Internet connections.

Suppose, you have two connections of 1 MBPS speed and you’re downloading a high quality 2GB movie file. Having multiple active Internet connections and using just one of them to download a big file is not a very efficient way. Setting this order means no mucking about when your network conditions change.Last evening a colleague asked if it was possible to combine two Internet connections to increase overall download speed? The idea seemed logical and the good thing is that the answer is yes! We can join two or more Internet connections to add up their individual speeds. Likewise, if you’ve unplugged from ethernet, you’d prefer Wi-Fi, but if that’s not available either, you want to use your iPhone’s hotspot. When you’re plugged into ethernet, you don’t want to have to turn Wi-Fi, so you set ethernet as the first item in the Service Order. The most likely scenario for this is cascading an ethernet, Wi-Fi, and iPhone USB connection with a laptop. Click the gear icon and then select Set Service Order, and you can drag interfaces around in the priority you want OS X to use them when they’re available and connected. You can pick the order that OS X consults network interfaces.īut you can choose the order in which OS X access your local network and the Internet. (You can select any interface, click the gear icon, and choose Make Service Inactive to disable it.)


OS X automatically sorts network interfaces in the Network system preferences pane in the order of first “connected” interfaces (ones with an active signal and IP address), then disconnected ones, and finally those marked inactive.
