The present invention is to provide a network connection method applicable to a network system including a client device and a plurality of source devices, wherein the client device is connected to the Internet through a first connection route (e.g., a power-line network or a cable network) and a second connection route (e.g., a WiFi wireless network) respectively so as to establish a connection channel with each source device, and the client device is able to analyze a data packet received from the source device to determine whether the data packet contains highly delay-sensitive data (e.g., audio/video data and communication data) or delay-insensitive data (e.g., webpage data). When it is determined that the data packet contains highly delay-sensitive data, the data packet is transmitted to the client device through the first connection route which is more stable than the second connection route, otherwise, through the second connection route instead.
A network connection method capable of analyzing data packets in order to select connection routes, the network connection method being applicable to a network system comprising a client device and a plurality of source devices, the client device being connected to the Internet respectively through a first connection route and a second connection route so as to establish a connection channel with each said source device, the client device being provided with a routing table, the routing table storing plural entries of source data and plural predetermined routes, each said entry of source data corresponding to a said source device with which the client device has established a said connection channel before, each said predetermined route representing the first connection route or the second connection route and corresponding to a said entry of source data, thus enabling the client device to select, according to a said entry of source data, a corresponding said predetermined route and transmit data packets to and from a corresponding said source device through the corresponding predetermined route, the network connection method comprising the steps, to be performed by the client device, of:
