What happens when connected to two networks at same time, using two different wireless network connections and/or two different wireless network adapters?
Conflict? Or does the stronger connection take charge? Or do they enhance one another? (Example: I have a TP-link booster adapter, which I can plug in via USB and connect, which shows up as a second 'wireless network connection' in my Network Connections. Sometimes the first will pick up one wireless signal from nearby, but the TP-link will pick up another, from a different router/network.)
Can anyone explain in extreeeemely simple terms, to someone who is super bewildered by the concepts of how internet connections work? I wish to know whether I should worry about disabling one if using the other, and all that sort of configuring...

1TLDR: No benefit no harm. You can have them both running although wired connection will be prefered by the system. WIFI card will only use battery as far as i know. There are ways to use them both to load balance the network traffic and speedup your connection (bandwidth) but not out of the box and definitely more advanced as a task. – mnmnc – 2015-06-07T10:43:33.277
