Connect one pc to two entirely separate WiFi networks, using built in wifi and wifi dongle

Question

want to do this:
One computer (desktop in my example) with 2 WiFi interfaces (one built in, one USB dongle). One WiFi interface connects to the router for Internet access, second connects to only to a single local network.

e.g.
default gateway 192.168.1.1
Interface A 192.168.1.0/24
Interface B 10.0.1.0/24

Currently what is 100 reliable is that I can connect first wifi (A) to the internet network fine. When I connect the second wifi (B) to the local network that stops the first one from working.

How do I do this? have set up netsh wlan priority etc.

My quesition is same as this one, which got directed to this forum

Hi @Bruno Martelli

There is no way to achieve this natively with Windows. By default, according to Windows 10 settings, your PC will only use the wireless connection that is performing better.

In order to achieve this you will need to use a third party app that allows bridging of networks.

I do hope this answers your question.

Thanks.
