Solve : DSL Help Please!? |
|
Answer» Hello all! Here's the situation... I recenly bought a new computer, and I will be giving my old one to my mom, who will be USING it in this house... Now, I currently have Verizon Online DSL, whihc is in use my my new computer. Well, I now want to allow her to use a DSL connection as well... If I purchased another modem, and plugged it into the wall, would we both be able to use the internet at the same time? A router is out of the question, becuase the computers will be on complete opposite sides of the house... So if two Hi-Speed modems connect to different wall jacks in the same house, under the same phone number, will they both be able to use the internet? Please help me guys! ... ANY kind of router is not an option... Why? Well, a wired router is out becuase the computers are on opposite sites of the house... And a Wireless router is not good becuase you give up about 1/2 of your DSL speed with it... Plus I don't even know if it will reach that far thoughout the house becuase of architecture, etc. [glb]Flame[/glb]One modem and one of these>http://www.usb-products.com/usb-hub.aspx Max cable distant.....45 feet<15 metres>........ :)kSo plugging in two modems into different wall jacks in the same house won't work then? :-/ [glb]Flame[/glb] Quote 1. a wired router is out becuase the computers are on opposite sites of the house... 1. You already stated that. BTW, 1 computer is wired to router, other computer is wireless. 2. Where did you read that? Is your DSL connection faster than 100mbps? I'll wager it is not. Wireless router is 100mbps which is at least 10 TIMES more bandwidth than your DSL line. Read this: Speed 3. Test your theory with a 2.4 GHz cordless telephone. Range of best routers are 1000ft. 4. It will work, but you'll pay double the price. I read that a while ago. I know that with wireless the comnnection speed suffers... MBPS... Also, I know someone who has a wireless connection... Slow... Loses connection often... Not my thing... Already tested Also, when you say I will pay double the price, you mean by buying a new modem, correct? Also, let me get this straight... If i buy a new hi-speed modem, I can do this? (A little suprised) [glb]Flame[/glb]Call your ISP. For example: 1 modem = $30/month 2 modems =$60/month 3 modems =$90/month Why are you surprised? Can't you put more than 1 telephone on a single line? EDUCATE yourself!!! How DSL WorksBut I don't need a modem from Verizon... I can get it from anywhere... How would verizon know? I'll look at the link. Also, I was suprised becuase I heard something about the static on the line or something... [glb]Flame[/glb]Flame ......Are you suggesting that if I were to use a wireless router as opposed to a wired router that the download speed would be 50 % . I currently have a DSL connection and a wired router. and I just did a speed test and its 168.64kbps.......so if I use a wireless router it will be 84.32 kbps ........ Either I'm loosin it or you read something wrong ...... Could you please dig up what it was you read and post it here ...... Have you actually tried a wireless router in your house to see if it works........it either will or it WONT .........I'll wager you haven't . BTW how big is your house from one side to the other ? Let us know dl65 Quote ... How would verizon know? That's who you will pay every month for a 2nd service if you insist on not using a wireless router. I've got a better idea which meets all your requirements. Get a cable modem for your mother and you keep the DSL modem. No need for a router. You will have 2 high speed modems on different wall jacks and be able to connect to the internet at the same time. Thanks for the suggestions! Actually I just got done reformatting her HD... It is not taking DSL for some reason, so this is not much of an issue... Plus, when I asked if she wanted DSL before she wanted it, but now she says that she changed her mind But eventually we might do that. Let em first get her computer straightened out... [glb]Flame[/glb]Are you saying "Nevermind"? This entire thread was a waste of time? I give up!!! |
