    ADSL Modems
    « on: October 11, 2008, 02:40:40 PM »
    Can you run two modems on the one phone line. In different parts of the house, I have a two story house but the wireless router will not reach up stairs, thought you may be able to connect two modems to the one phone line or there hardware which will allow you to do this? Ojas

    Will your service provider even allow you to have two modems on one account?

    You might look into ways to boost the signal gain on the wireless router.

    Please list more specifics about your equipment.

    Thank you.

    No, it wont work.

    See, the line will only support one modem. Its not quite like Ethernet.

    You might look into getting a new router... what router do you have right now?

    Make sure your router is in a central location of your home... Preferably at head height on the first floor.

    Is the connection weak, or just not there at all? I wouldent really say another router is needed unless the connection is below 50%.

    EDIT: You might also make sure the antenna is facing directly up.
