Yes, you can. You can do priorities according to ports to allow more or dedicated bandwidth for flt deck purposes. But, it seems, UAL is reneging on that promise. Yes, limited by the basic system, but you don't need a second router. Just a dedicated channel so to speak.
On the 777, the wifi is so bad, it's basically unusable, even if we had dedicated ports, the speed is useless. It works about 1 in 4 flights, and when it does work, the speed is so slow you can't do even basic textual based web pages. It's embarrassing.
