Can I use two DSL routers on one phone line?

Question

Is there any way to use two dsl routers on the same phone line? (what about simultaneously) The fact is that I wanna share my dsl line with a friend who lives in a far room, but i don't want her to enter in my place to turn on the router when she wants to use the internet connection.
is there other way she can access to internet using my line but without having to plug and turn my router on? Thank you for helping

Answer 1

Depending on the routers you own, you can likely daisy chain them together. To do so:

1. Take the network cable, plug it into the WAN port of her router, and then plug it into one of the standard ports, usually numbered 1-4, of your router. Configure her router to do very little in the way of NAT translation or firewall protection. Turn off DHCP on her router, too.
2. Make sure your router is providing DHCP services, and keep it connected to the DSL line as usual.

This should work fine.

Q. What are the maximum and minimum cable lengths allowed for a
100BASE-TX unshielded, twisted-pair (UTP) Ethernet?

A. Here are some basic 100BASE-TX horizontal distance requirements
(the are called guidelines in the specification):

Total distance between an Ethernet Transmitter and Receiver at the
absolute end points of the network (maximum diameter from origin
to final destination, if the wires were stretched out to form a
straight line): 100 Meters (328 ft., 109 yds., or about the length
of a football field). This limitation results from the timing of
the Ethernet signals on the cable and not necessarily the cable
characteristics, and is, therefore, a "hard" number.

Excluding patch cables, cross connects, etc., the maximum horizontal
cable distance shall be 90 meters (295 ft.). They are referring
to the run from the patch panel to the wall jack with solid core
cable.

Cross-connect jumpers and patch cords in the cross connect should
not exceed 6 meters (20 ft.).

3 meters (9.8 ft.) has been allowed for patch cords from the wall
jack to the work area/PC. One could probably make these cables
longer if the total length between Ethernet devices does not
exceed 100 Meters. I would not make patch cables with stranded
cable longer than 20 feet.
10 meters (33 ft.) is allowed for the total length of patch cords
and cross connect jumpers in a horizontal channel. Cross connect
cables are patch panel cables.
I can find no minimum length in the chunk of the specifications I have for 100BASE-TX cable. I read one Internet source that said it was .5 meters (1.6 ft.). I have read others that said there was no limit. I have a 2-foot crossover cable that works fine. There are loopback plugs that have almost no length. I would tend to make such a cable at least two feet long to permit some noise attenuation by the twisted pairs. However, RJ-45 plugs are cheap and one could experiment for a modest cost.

1st off its a cable line, you cant share a dial up line... you shouldnt have to turn your router off & on, your cable goes into the router & you should have 5 or 6 out lines. plug your computer in the #1 out then hers in the #2 out...neither of you should have to unplug or turn off the router at any time, just your computers

Answer 4

U can just leave the router on all the time, that should fix it right? If not, it can be done but not with all DSL providers.

Answer 5

Just buy a wireless router and she can access any time.
Otherwise you can not do what you are thinking.
Just make sure that you secure the network and you are golden she does not have to see you.
Why would you want that I don't know that :-)

Answer 6

I agree with the rest..try a wireless router.

Answer 7

you can set up a wireless network or run a network cable

Answer 8

no, because most percentage is no so i also answered no
