Hello, i have a small network of 7 PC´s and i want to get another ISP to have more bandwidth for my network. Because of where i live, there is only 2 ISP and they both have a max of 5mb of Bandwidth. One is DSL and the other one is cable. They both give you the routers. So is it possible to increase the bandwidth of my network with those type of ISP? If so can i connect the two routers to a switch without a problem? My switch is a cnet CNSH-1600

Thank you in advance

You would need a dual wan port router to benefit from two ISP's for 7 pcs. Can't do it with single routers unless you put 3 on one and 4 on another and then they won't talk either.

Are you ready for where Microsoft wants you to go today?

Well, could do the 3 and 4 if you use different gateways. Subnet will still connect.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
