Routing traffic on PC 02-04-2016, 11:38 AM
#1
After some help really from all you network savvy members.
Basically, my problem is I like to game and I like to download stuff, however my setup at home is a bit strange. I've got a powerline adapter connect to my ethernet port and a wifi adapter connected to my wifi.
Now if I game using the wifi the latency fluctuates, but on the powerline it is fine. But if I want to download I get better speeds on my wifi rather than my powerline.
So is it possible to route traffic based on port down a particular interface?
I've had a Google about and the only thing I can find is routing which from what I can tell is IP based.
I'm using Windows 10.

Well, I had a simular question a few days ago, I personally think it is possible but I have no idea how.
What I do know is that there are some programs like "speedify" that combines 2 different types of connection into 1 connection, but anyway I'm not sure if that will solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply, I'll take a look at speedify, but I don't think that will ultimately solve the issue because if the gaming traffic goes over the wifi it will still cause latency issues ( I think ).

Or if you know a little bit of coding you could make a program that can switch between the two easily. Like when you need your powerline you choose powerline and otherwise Wifi.

I would ultimately prefer it if I didn't have to switch them at all..

Speedify would help, but the best option is to set your machine as priority in the router, if it has that option.

Okay so the only thing I could find was this

With a bit of Googling there are several blog posts about using it.
