Use all of your available Internet connections at once to maximize speed & reliability with Dispatch.

Connectify Dispatch is groundbreaking PC software that lets you connect to all available Internet connections simultaneously.

For the first time, you can connect to the coffee shop Wi-Fi and your 4G mobile device, using both Internet connections for their combined speed, and increased reliability. With Connectify Dispatch, you can even use two different Wi-Fi networks at the same time. Just connect a secondary USB Wi-Fi card (complimentary for $100+ backers), in addition to your laptop’s on-board Wi-Fi card, and Dispatch does the rest. At the click-of-a-button, you’ll be cruising the web at warp speed, using the combined throughput of both wireless networks. Even if you lose connectivity on one of those networks, Dispatch keeps you online, seamlessly moving all of your traffic onto the working connection until both networks become available again.

To prove the tech, the company combined all the available open WiFi networks in a neighborhood along with a tethered Verizon mobile phone, and were able to create an impressive 85Mbs connection, as the video below the break shows. So far, Connectify has vacuumed up $30K for Dispatch toward the $50K objective, with about two weeks left. So, if you're desperate for more speed, or just want to trump your neighbor's bandwidth by stealing his WiFi and melding it with your ADSL, check the source to see how to pledge.

I cannot see this being a benefit to many people, but that aside they will easily hit their 50k target on Kickstarter.

Would it help in any regard for doing dodgy stuff, if you connect to several things at once only part of the info for whatever you are doing will be going through any single network? harder to trace?

Surely though the main benefit would be for this on the move, connect via 3G and wifi seamlessly? No connecting to a new network etc it would just use whatever was available at the time? Question is, if I have two wireless networks in my house would this then mean it would use the fastest connection, rather than sticking to the one I was last connected to at 1 bar of signal!

Also I have a neighbour without a wifi password, and after some IP scans I know he has a mac and an iPhone :-)

Also if you really wanted to, even "secure" wifi can be cracked

Me and my two neighbours have 40/10 internet connections, and all in range

Yes, but it is still illegal if you are caught.

The problem with multiple connections is simply that they all join to the same computer, therefore they will have the same identity. You would be better off using someone else's computer remotely to retransmit the data to you. Even better would be a string of several computers, each receiving and transmitting the data on to the next. Even that could be traced eventually if someone decided to put enough effort into it. Note that this would only give an approximate location that you have been in, it would not identify you personally. You would be better off using a cheap, disposable item like a wi-fi enabled pad.

Storing the data isn't such an issue with modern memory cards - a 32GB micro SD card is tiny and could be hidden almost anywhere.

Yes, but it is still illegal if you are caught.

So is piracy but there are quite a few "how to" threads on here about that.

It still originates from your one device. No idea what serious is babbling on about above (he seems to be trying to re-define proxy servers as a "new" thing) but ultimately you wouldn't trace a person by their IP, its just one piece of information about a network device, you'd trace them by their actions.

Bots, not proxy servers. And it is an old idea, originally for connecting several phones in a daisy chain. You might not bew able to identify a person by their IP but you might be able to identify their device and location if they are not careful.

No you're definitely talking about proxy servers (daisy chain) or at best TOR. Which still both rely on a single point and have proven attacks against the anonymity provided by them.

Some websites could actually track you by your browser configuration. Check the eff for more info, they have a tool which will give you a rating as to how unique your browser setup is.

Ultimately this home bonded wifi is cool tech but inappropriate if you're using it for hiding from the authoritah!
