Ok let me explain.

My family are heavily into the internet, streaming video, gaming, browsing etc. It is very difficult to manage this bandwidth availability (i.e can't game while one is streaming etc etc) and they never can agree. I've tried all sorts from allocating times, days, negotiation etc on internet etc etc.

This is what I want to........

Have a cable and an ADSL connection obviously running on different routers as they can't use the same router, however I want the 4/5 PCs in our house to be able to switch between these connections without having to unplug from one to go into another. I kinda want an internal network that can allow the clients to use either of the Internet (WAN) connections...

Is there anything I can sit in front of the 2 routers that can switch a client between routers? or am I just being silly?

Cheers, Shire
