Bridging connections not working

I have a Windows 7 PC with a Wireless-G PCI card installed . I added a TP-LINK wireless-N USB adapter, made it the active network connection and deactivated the wireless-G card. Everything works fine.

I saw the option to Bridge Connections in the properties of these adapters, so I highlighted both and told Windows to bridge them. It created the bridge but throughput dropped to something low like 1%. Things were crawling so I removed the bridge and deactivated the PCI card again.

Should I expect the bridge to use both adapters and increase speed? It didn't work that way but I don't know anything about it.
 
Never mind, just realized bridging means the technical networking concept of bridging different networks, not combining adapters for more speed.
