My Lenovo G50 laptop running Ubuntu has an inbuilt WiFi Adapter, and I also have a USB WiFi Adapter. When I plug in the USB adapter, I see both of the adapters in the Network settings, and they both seem to be able to connect to a router.

I wanted to know if it is possible for me to double my internet speed by connecting to 2 different WiFi APs at the same time, one with each adapter, or if maybe Ubuntu does that already automatically?

If I do have do do something to make this work, please do tell.

  • You don't have two seperate internet connections. Even if you did, you would have to bond those connections together, and that hardware is very expensive.
