text: if i connect to the internet via wireless and local area connection, will i get the combined connection speed? i have ways to connect to the internet, via the local area connection cable which connects to the model (100mbps) and wireless (50mpbs). if i connect to both, which i am capable of doing, will i get the combined connection spped? in a word, no.  in fact, it would probably confuse the pc and cause it to run slower.  it would have to stop every time it needs to send a packet and determine which connection to use.
