Two Wans, Two Networks, Too Much for a Newbie

by justjeffy Feb 5, 2011 7:21AM PST

I have two separate networks in my house. One is gets its Internet from AT&T uverse and the other from my local cable provider. I'd like to be able to allow the computers and devices that connect to the Uverse system, the ability to print to a printer on my cable network. Both networks have routers and both routers presently provide DHCP to their respective devices. I have one computer which has Windows 7 ultimate. Is there a way to use my windows comptuer to act as some sort of bride or router to combine these two connections and be able to print from any device on either network? Is there a way to use both Internet connections to increase my bandwidth? etc.

http://forums.cnet.com/7723-7583_102-393583.html gets you a start on products.

But you want more than bonding when you want to print and share across your PRIVATE LANS.
Let's say yes to bonding and no to the sharing.
