Using 2 Wifi Dongles: 1 For Internet, And 1 For Ez-Bs

Hey guys.

I discovered a pesky setting in windows that sets priorities on wifi connections.

Currently I have my ez-b on my wifi 2 connection, and my home wifi on my wifi 1 connection. Windows, as it appears, sets a random priority on each of these.

It appears to have set the ez-b connection as primary connection, but now, I cant use the internet on my home connection dongle! It has also happened vise versa.

I would connect my ez-b to my home network but we have in excess of 20 devices using that connection. With it already slow, I don't want another device slowing it more.

What my question is: How can you specify what wifi connection you want to use in say, the connection control in ARC ? Something like Wifi 2:\192.168.1.1:23 ?

If I can figure this out, I wont have to constantly disconnect from the ez-b on my second connection to use the internet on my first one.

Thanks for any help I get! Tech

I live in a large house and the cable put in the walls when my parents built the house are the wrong cables for Ethernet plugs.

I bought a cheap dLink router ($45 CAD) from Best Buy about 3 monts ago...(actually on DJ's recommendation)... it is SO much better than the crappy all-in-one I got from rogers... At any given time I have 10 or more devices connected and so far all my connections have been pretty rock solid (that includes all my ezb4s)... My wifi range has also increased dramatically....
