Would connecting my desktop using the usual 10/100 LAN cable and a USB wireless N adapter yield better internet speeds?

Why then did my data transfer times drop by something close to an order of magnitude when I migrated from 100/10 to gigabit? I see what you're saying about the drive speeds, but I can tell you for a fact that transfers of hundreds of gigs took hours on my Buffalo Airstation and literally took a day or more on my dlink. Thanks.

so you have faster then 100mbps internet connect? (12MBytes per second)
transfering files Via lan are not what this thread is about.
i would go wired 100 over wireless N... wireless shares bandwidth for a start... and its not always going to be 100% signal strength.
I assume your speaking about transferring on a LAN? You will see a change with LAN if your NIC is gigabit (on destination PC as well) HDD/SSD speeds are way faster than 12.5MBps. As far as internet speed...don't be silly, unless your rocking some serious interwebz. Even then, whatever your trying to access will probably never allow you to use your bandwidth to its full potential, thus making your 100Mbps speeds fine.
I'm not sure why you guys are bringing up internet speeds. Aside from specifying that I was talking about LAN speeds, my original post said in part:so you have faster then 100mbps internet connect? (12MBytes per second)

However even in that case, if your main concern is internet access, that obviously is limited by your ISP. The odds you have something that is 100mbps or higher are pretty slim. But if your main concern is transporting data over your lan, then you should get better than 100mbps speeds over your existing cabling - assuming that the router is rated for higher speeds.

Yes you CAN bridge your LAN and wireless network and will probably see some improvement. I have done it and it did seem to help a bit but, now my net is very fast and don't need to bridge.

???
how could this possibly improve his internet connection?
yes he can do it but its useless.
it dosnt mater how big the straw is if the cup is out of liquid.
replace Straw with Ethernet + Wireless and liquid with his internet connection.

I highly doubt his rig is going to even touch the 100Mbps. 12.5 MBps from an ISP? Get real, I had a 80Mbps cable connection, it wouldn't didn't even make the Ethernet break a sweat. Either one you choose is fine. Bridging may be possible, but yield no real performance from an internet standpoint. I'd have to use the N if you are going to be doing LAN file transfers. If your on a HDD, you won't even come close to flooding that connection. SSD, closer, but I doubt it in any real life situation.

Several ISP's here (including my current one) are actually upgrading the whole network to 200MBit, two other large ISP's are aiming at 500Mbit. These are actually obtainable speeds.
As for harddisks, they easily saturate 100Mbit, even if they're 10 years old. MB != Mb.
To answer the OP's question, mostly no. Multithreading can improve bandwidth utilization a bit. But you can do this using a single NIC. Configuring your NICs in the way you propose is impossible, you'd have to mess on the software side. Definitely not worth it.
