    Is it possible to conneect my laptop on two wireless connections for improved speed?

    Hi guys.

    Assuming that I have in range of my laptop wifi card more than one wireless connections, is there a way to connect on both and experience improved internet speed?

    I would love that because each of the connections individually is terribly slow

    Nah, you can not team with two cards, wire or Wireless when using Client OS.

    You need a real Server with special hardware to combine Network bandwidth.

    The fastest pratical bandwidth is using computers with wired Giga Network card and a good Giga Switch.

    You can get a transfer of of 75-80 MB/sec. using such hardware (B=Byte).

    Cat5e is correct.

    Anyone else find it odd that the guy who names himself after networking equipment, ended up being the one that answered this question?
