My question is as follows.

Have 2 DSL wireless routers with a 6mb download limit each. computer has 2 wireless cards. one built into the computer, the second via usb. each router is set on a different sub mask, each card is set to connect to only one of the routers. Would like to be able to use both routers at the same time to download and double my bandwidth. I have permission to use both routers.

I tried bridging the cards, but that did not improve the bandwidth.

How can you use both routers at the same time?

please help.

That's not the answer to the question Leo. I think what he is trying to ask is somthing different

To the Questionar:
I bet what you did is something called: making a parallel connection. Parallel connections from cable modem to Linksys Routers will not work .

You must connect them in a series
First connect the cable modem to one of the routers (unplug it, since you already might have messed up the mind of the cable modem)

Then connect the other Router the first router
Then plug everything back to their adapters
If this doesn't work I have to try this my self to understand what you are talking about.

Recommended: keep all things unplugged when connecting them together (that's because wireless router send off signals int your hand if you touch the antenna)
