I have 2 desktops in different parts of the house, each next to a phone socket but too far apart to connect to the same router/modem wirelessly. I have a wireless Siemens Gigabit SE587WLANds router/modem and a Alcatel Speedtouch 330 modem. If I connect one to each pc will both pcs be able to connect to the isp either at the same time or seperately ? The isp is Tiscali (max unlimited).
I also have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router, could this be used to extend (bridge) the range of the Gigabit router so each pc could use the Siemens dsl connection ?
Thanks.
Can you use 2 ADSL modems on the same telephone line ?
nope, buy a wireless router and adapter connect the adapter to the less used computer
Can you use 2 ADSL modems on the same telephone line ?
I don't think this would be possible. Best would be to either run a CAT5 UTP cable to the other machine from the one modem router (no longer than 100m) or set up a repeating network with a Netgear DG834 ADSL modem and a Netgear WG602v4 access point/repeater. Then you would require a wireless network card in the second computer.
Reply:Sorry but no as the ASDL modem logs into your internet connection, in a way, dials it up, so you can onyl have one per phoneline, you can link 2 routers together tho. Hope this Helps =]
Reply:Yes....you can set up a wireless network with the Siemens Gigabit and turn the linksys in to a wireless repeater....
Here is the guide....

I did this with the WRT54G and it worked fine.
