    Setting up two USB wifi adapters


    I have set up a golf simulator in my garage and the tracking device connects to the software via a wifi connection. I also have wifi in the garage so I purchased an additional USB wifi card to connect to the internet. I have the simulator device connected on wifi2 and the internet on wifi but the issue is once the wifi connects to the internet, it blocks the simulator from connecting. I've been through the tech support people for the simulator and they walked me through the process of forgetting the networks on wifi and wifi2 but it's still not working. Is there a way to only to connect to a network on one card?

    Thanks

    Gary

    Can anyone suggest another Windows 10 forum? I posted something this morning about setting up 2 wifi adapters and with 76 reviews I didn't get 1 response.

    Thanks

    but I have never seen anybody explain how Windows can make use of two WiFi adapters at the same time.

    When I had two I played around with them but never managed to get them both connecting automatically and never found any way of deliberately pointing an application at a particular one.

    Thanks Denis...I'll check them out...at one point I got them both working but then the next time I used the simulator it didn't work.

    I managed to connect both to my network but had to do so manually every time. It did not achieve anything because Windows just used the fastest one and ignored the other one. So I also "got them both working" but only the fastest one actually did any work.

    I gave up trying because the few cases I found discussed here or generally on the internet persuaded me that there was no solution.
