Running A PC and a Laptop Seperately, on one BT line...

[a1]

Hello Guys,

Is it possible that I could use two seperate BT Routers on the same line to work two seperate PCs/a PC and a Laptop? One upstairs and one down?

Many Thanks,

Admin.

PS. The routers are both BT Voyager 210 ADSL Routers.

On the same broadband account?

Why not just run some Cat 5 upstairs?

I'm assuming you don't want run wireless

You can only have 1x ADSL modem per incoming line, as Patch points out run a Cat5e (Cat4??? Patch, is this a Vets version?) cable out of one of the router RJ45 ports, or use one of the mains based products such as Devolo AV200, plugged into the ADSL router

I know what I meant!

you can't, sorry

When you connect a router to your phone line it automatically logs onto your ISP and gets an IP address. If you had 2 doing that at the same time then it'd play havoc with your connection.

We have wireless/wired Belkin jobbie....

currently with 3 hardwired connections

and when all the kids are in upto three laptops running wireless as well...

It can slow down a touch when the flippin daughters are watching the programs they missed on I-Player!!!! headbang :_|

As t'others have said only 1 router can talk to the ADSL kit in the BT exchange at a time...

or its like three people trying to talk to each other simultaneously! :_|

The best solution if you do not want any wireless is to hard wire as others have suggested.

I run 3 pc's and various game machines on a network through one router, I have a 20meg connection so that helps with usage, only one of the pc's is hard wired the rest are wireless but on the same shared network.

I think I'll go for the Plug in option.

3 Plugs to work two PCs, if I have seen it correctly?

Many Thanks,

Admin.

Bump.

Has anyone seen these 200Mbps ones around in a three pack? I can't find any.
