Howto check if a connection is active when multiple connections activ?
Well, I have a WiFi router and I connect to it by using both my WiFi adapters in my laptop, so when doing ipconfig I get this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Wireless LAN adapter WiFi:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::f1c9:2363:e008:c3f5%17
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.28
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
Wireless LAN adapter USB300N:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.29
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
And then one time I had no internet, not really what I expected, by connecting to the network with two adapters I expect to not have that many drops, meaning if one adapter loses connection the other still has it, right? and reverse too.
But now I had a situation where my internet droped, I did ping 192.168.1.1 and there was no response, so I ping 192.168.1.28 and 192.168.1.29 and the ping works, so it doesn't ping it via the router.
Now my questions are:
1)How can I determine from which adapter/connection I have internet?
2)How can I determine if one or both adapters lost connecton to the WiFi router?
3)How can I force a connection to be used without disconnecting/disabling an other connection?
