    Just a question :D

    lets say when i connect WiFi LAN and USB dongle on the same machine does it use all of the available internet bandwitch or does it preffer one over the other?

    On a windows 7 machine

    As far as I know Windows only connects to one network. Having two receivers for one network I doubt will do any good. Perhaps if the Wireless Router is Dual-Band, but even then, that's an unusual question

    But why wouldn't it be good? If you had two separate isp's could you not join the networks together and get better speeds?

    Any one know in which windows decides which connection to use if their all connected

    Doesn't work like that, to the best of my knowledge.

    Windows will use only one internet connection at a time. The one it uses is determined by which one is set as the default in the network connections settings.
    If two connections were to be used at the same time then your computer would have 2 addresses and 2 separate paths to it. There would be no way of controlling what data went where. It just doesn't work like that.
