# Use more than one internet connection for the stream

Turn on up to 4 networks (wired, Wi-Fi, cellular) and let NWK switch networks on its own if one goes down.

## Step by step

1. Click the gear ⚙ next to LIVE.
2. Under “Internet networks”, turn on the switch for the networks the stream can use.
3. In each destination, open “Edit” and choose the “Network” for 16:9 and 9:16, or leave it on “Automatic”.


## Mac only, for now
Choosing networks currently works on Mac. On Windows, the stream goes out over the computer's regular internet connection.



## What each network shows
Each network appears with its type (wired, Wi-Fi, cellular or other), the address, the state and the response time. The states are: unused, checking, ok, unstable, no bandwidth and down. The border turns green when it is ok and red when it is down.



## Up to 4 networks in use
You can use up to 4 networks at the same time. To turn on a fifth, turn another one off first.



## Each destination goes over one network
A destination goes entirely over a single network: networks do not add up bandwidth for the same live stream. With several networks, you split the destinations among them.

- Automatic: NWK spreads the streams across the networks in use.
- A chosen network: the destination goes over it. If it goes down, the destination switches to another on its own and comes back when it is stable again.


## When a network goes down
If the network goes down or cannot keep up with the bitrate, the destination reconnects on its own over another one in 1 to 3 seconds. NWK shows a notice on screen when a network goes down and when it comes back. On the destination card, the network in use appears in yellow when it is not the one you chose.
